[AFS_OSU] Free trip to Chicago through foundry club

Thu Oct 10 11:59:26 EDT 2019

Hello all,

I hope everyone is getting a good start on fall break, but please take a minute to read through the following email for important and urgent information regarding club updates and general information, an opportunity to go to Chicago, and an internship opportunity.

College Industry Conference (CIC):
The CIC in an annual conference in Chicago aimed at introducing industry professionals to college students. Historically, students who attend the conference are offered internships during networking events with various industry professionals, and scholarships are awarded as well. This event is really geared to help industry leaders to find students interested in the metals casting related industry for internships and full time jobs, so if that describes you, you're in luck. This year we will be sending five students to the conference, ALL EXPENSES PAID FOR by the club. If you are interested in being wined and dined in Chicago please let me know immediately. We have been asked to get a list by tomorrow (sorry for the short notice) of people interested in attending the conference as representatives of the foundry club here at the university. Here, https://www.fefinc.org/schedule.html, you can find more information about the event including companies that will be there. As mentioned there are only five spots available so let me know if you are interested quickly before spots run out. The conference itself takes place on November 21st and 22nd.

Next Meeting:
Next week the club will host some of our industry partners from the central Ohio chapter of AFS. The meeting will be to provide an update to the partners about foundry club activities and will be a catered event. Please come and enjoy a free dinner and help represent the club. The meeting is scheduled for next Thursday (10/17) at 6pm. Keep an eye out for an email early next week for more detailed information.

Updates:
We are currently waiting to hear back from the building coordinator about permission to use the foundry for a club event. We are trying to get some time in the foundry set up as soon as possible to really kick things off for this year. Based on everyone's responses to the survey, it looks like Tuesdays from 11-1 and Thursdays from 12-2 are the times that work for the most people who responded to the survey, so our meetings will likely happen during one of these times once we get approval for a date.

For all those who attended the kickoff meeting you heard about our interests in your designs of some possible castings. For anyone not at the meeting, the club is looking for some submissions for new casting designs/patters to make as a club throughout the year. If you have an idea or interest in a design please email me. For anyone who is familiar with solidworks or another CAD program, please make up a part file. This will help determine if we have the ability to make such a thing, or how it may need to be changed so we can. Here, https://www.custompartnet.com/wu/SandCasting, you can find some information about what is required for a sand casting part to help you with your design. For anyone unfamiliar with CAD programs, we still want to here your thoughts so please send them to us, and we will work with you on making your design in solidworks. There were some great ideas at the kickoff meeting so we would love to see them happen.

We will most likely be holding elections in December for new officer positions. In particular we will be looking for a new E-council rep, secretary, treasurer, and vice-chair. If you are interested please keep an eye out for future emails about the elections. Officer positions provide GREAT opportunities for scholarships and resumes.

Internship Opportunity:
It has been asked that the following message be shared with the foundry club regarding internship opportunities:

Recently the summer internship applications opened for Navy facilities (see below). The applications close on November 1, 2019.

The application period for both the 2020 college- and graduate-level Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP) and the 2020 high school-level Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP) is open until Friday, November 1st. These programs provide an opportunity for students to participate in research at a Department of Navy laboratory during the summer.

NREIP provides competitively-selected research internships for undergraduate students and graduate students each year, whereas SEAP provides competitively selected research internships for high school students each year. SEAP is open to high school students and pays $4,500 for the 8-week summer internship. Undergraduate NREIPs are paid $9,500 and graduate NREIPs are paid $12,000 for the 10-week internship.

More information, details about eligibility, and the application can be found at https://nreip.asee.org<https://nreip.asee.org/> OR https://seap.asee.org<https://seap.asee.org/>. Notifications for awardees and non-awardees will be sent in December.

Final remarks:

-let me know today or tomorrow if you are interested in a FREE trip to Chicago to network with industry professionals
