Number of persons who participated in this project Members: 4 Electees: 11 (Please attach a list of names.) Hours spent on this project. Organizing: Participating: 6 DESCRIPTION: I. General Description: This is an event where students from middle and high school compete in a wide variety of different events. II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBP: To Tau Bates this event was about supporting the critical thinking and creativity that these bright young middle and high school students are demonstrating. Some of the events included mousetrap cars, robot arms, magnetic levitation vehicles, and many more. The Science Olympiad is a competition that starts between schools locally, then on a district level, then regional level (which is the event FAU was hosting). Promoting the STEM fields to young students is one of our main objectives and because of this it was a successful event. III. Organization & Administration: (in conjunction with another group?) X Yes No FAU College of Science IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: The College of Science organized the event. We had numerous Tau Bates and electees assist in being event assistants and liaisons for the schools. V. Special Problems: None VI. Overall Evaluation/Results (Be Specific): Many of the new electees got to know each other better. Everyone enjoyed the event, the middle and high school students said they had a blast, and the organizers were very appreciative of Tau Beta Pi s volunteering. We now remain in close contact with the director that oversees the Science Olympiads about new ways to volunteer and help drive young kids to pursue engineering careers.

General Description: The College of Engineering at FAU celebrated E-Week with a variety of different events. It was only natural for them to enlist the services of our chapter to help with planning, organizing, and running things. II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBP: Giving some volunteer hours to the Engineering Department is a great way to show them our dedication to the college. We are happy to help them plan events, and our members are always reliable workers. Also, they gave us a nicely sized and very accessible office on the first floor of the new green engineering building at FAU; that s a nice incentive to help them wherever needed. III. Organization & Administration: (in conjunction with another group?) X Yes No - FAU Department of Engineering Student Services (DESS) IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: Six members were needed to plan the event and help with a variety of tasks. V. Special Problems: None VI. Overall Evaluation/Results (Be Specific): The members involved first needed to attend a few meetings to plan the events for the week. Tuesday was a fun day with Middle and High School students from the Palm Beach County area. They got to enjoy tours of the engineering buildings, hear

47 from our professors about the fun life of engineers, and participate in small activities. Tau Bates provided help in all of these areas, especially the tours. VII. Index of Exhibits: None VIII.

Number of persons who participated in this project Members: 3 Electees: 17 (Please attach a list of names.) Hours spent on this project. Organizing: Participating: 6 DESCRIPTION: I. General Description: In place of a cancelled Boy Scout Badge Event, the electees cleaned a local beach to fulfill their required community service hours. II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBP: This gave the electees a chance to meet with officers and talk about plans for next year. It is also good to show the upcoming members that even if one service project gets cancelled, that there is always something else that can be done to help the community. III. Organization & Administration: (in conjunction with another group?) Yes _X_ No IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: Supplies were available within the office because our chapter has done beach cleanups before. The only expense was for bottles of water at $10. V. Special Problems: None VI. Overall Evaluation/Results (Be Specific): It was a beautiful morning at the beach and everyone enjoyed being out in the sun. Two groups split off and walked a mile down the beach in each direction cleaning whatever garbage they found. Gloves were provided. Sadly, the beaches get totally destroyed in South Florida because people don t pick up after themselves. It was nice to make the beach nice and clean again.

II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBP: Our goal with this event was to get the kids to develop an interest in engineering. We like to give back to the community and keep up Tau Beta Pi s high reputation. III. Organization & Administration: (in conjunction with another group?) Yes X_ No IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: Our chapter provided subs and drinks for the volunteers at $30. We also purchased batteries for the MindStorm Lego kits for $10. V. Special Problems: None VI. Overall Evaluation/Results (Be Specific): We had approximately 8 boy scouts show up, three one speaker (Dr. Su), four volunteers, and many parents and scout leaders supporting. We were given positive feedback afterwards on how much the kids loved the presentations, and hands-on activities. The kids seemed to enjoy the lecture and activity on circuits and batteries. Overall it was a very successful event!
