Publicity

Chen Lu (Chair) : |
Come children, sit awhile and listen to my story. Long, long ago, the world was bathed in the cacophony of humanities majors. There were no derivatives, no matrices, no lab reports in sight. It was a world where any answer could be correct. But one day, out of that pool of easy-A majors, the First Engineer stood tall. With his/her advanced knowledge of mathematics and practical applications, he/she solved the n-degree differential equation and crafted the Golden Gear. With this great symbol of engineering, he/she rallied others who shared this analytical interest to try and form their own major. But the journey was not free of perils. The established majors looked down upon the engineers, questioning why they would force such a workload upon themselves. Why would they take non-Scantron tests? Why would they need to lock themselves in lab and not enjoy the sunlight? Why have finals that actually last three hours? Many of the new engineers crumbled under such mounting scrutiny and reverted to their original majors. As the antagonism increased, a band of zealous students gathered the powers of bureaucracy. Persuaded with half-truths, the administration deemed that the major was illegitimate and removed the major from all bearfacts pages. The Golden Gear that took much labor to create was shattered into many pieces and disposed to the far corners of the world. By that time, the First Engineer had already graduated and there were only a small band of engineers left. After much deliberation, they decided on an exodus to track down the pieces of the very symbol that once united them all. They knew the risks but these brave engineers swore to return and rebuild the engineering major. After many years of searching, many returned but were changed by their journey. The EECS group found their piece in the middle of a thunderstorm. Crossing the treacherous area, they discovered that this gear piece attracted the bolts of lightning. Peering closer into the piece, they saw inside the flashes of electricity illuminating portions of metal, creating areas of light and darkness. The Mech E group discovered their piece on the far edge of the world. They started off on foot but then realized that they could be more efficient. Drawing out plans, they developed new methods of transportation and motion to allow them faster access. They returned with the piece in record time. The Civ E group journeyed through great mountains and rivers. Using the resources around them, they constructed bridges and tunnels through the normally impassable terrain to find their piece. The Chem E group ventured into the great swamps of the land. These toxic areas were unsuitable for habitation but with trial and error, they were able to neutralize these toxins and safely cross to where the piece was located. The Nuke E group ventured deep down into the earth where the rare elements were located. They emerged slightly glowing with radioactivity but aware of the powers of the atom. The IEOR group realized that one piece of the gear was embedded in the businesses of the land. With their powers of optimization, they streamlined these operations and located the piece under a mountain of unneeded paperwork. The Eng Sci group realized their piece was out of this world. They devised many schemes to launch themselves to reach for the piece. Although the human catapult did not work, they eventually discovered the science of rockets to reach their piece. The Bio E group located their piece in the great savanna of the land. They realized that the piece was consumed by the wandering animals in their great food chain. After engineering an even larger animal to dominate the food chain, they were able to find the missing piece. These engineers made it back to the university but many others did not. Since they did not have all the pieces of the gear they decided to construct another symbol of engineering excellence. With a circle, a trapezoid, and a rod, they used the pieces they had to construct the Tau Beta Pi bent on the campus. With such a rallying point, the various engineering groups with their own expertise became official majors of the campus. |

Jonathan Chun : |
Thums Up is an EXCELLENT Indian cola drink. (Yes it is Srikanth)However, I am giving a thumbs up to all y'all for pledging and joining TBP. It's going to be AWESOME!(Agreed it will be awesome)
Im a 3rd year BioE and I'm a poor basketball player but I'm pretty much always down for pick up. |
|
Jojo De Vera : |
I'm currently a grad student. Yay. I'm a mechanical engineering major (only the coolest engineering major ever) and I was in the military at one point (in case any of you were curious). I looove bowling. Talk to me! I'm lonely... |
|
James Peng : |
.....Yeah, chen, that was waaaay too long. So yeah, I'm your local friendly publicity person....who doesn't go to stuff because I spend way too much time in wushu, but if you DO see me around, come say hi! |
