Design exposition to showcase work by senior engineering students
With a car that jacks itself up for repairs, a scale built into a toilet seat and a three-dimensional inventory tracking system, the Senior Design Exposition from the UT College of Engineering is like a look into the future.
On Friday, Dec. 12, in Nitschke Hall on Main Campus from noon to 3 p.m., the expo will showcase more than 40 projects created by seniors in the College of Engineering as part of the required senior design course. The students work with the businesses, industries and federal agencies that sponsor the projects. Their task is to help solve the client’s technical or business challenges.
Projects on display will include:
• A smart lawn mower from students Fahad Almane, Abdulla Almekhyal, Mohamad Jaber, Mark Kopitke, Lolu Noibi and Tun Tun that attempts to make mowing the yard easier and more interesting by combining a mower, a wheelchair controller and a remote control;
• A piano adaptation for a youngster from students Jeremy Clawson, Mark Iott, Alan Manz and Clay Rutti that allows a partially paralyzed young boy to use the foot pedals on a piano with weight-activated switches on both sides of his wheelchair;
• A space-efficient home shredding and recycling system from students Nathan Burns, Bryan Darling, Megan Davidson, Richard Faber and Jason Moore brings trash compactors to recycling by fitting a standard recycling container inside a kitchen cupboard. A compacting unit crushes or shreds the refuse before dropping it into the containers;
• A toilet seat scale from students Greg Tilton, Kyle Turco and Nick Weisenberger gives those unable to stand an easier and more accommodating option;
• A trauma backboard with a pressure dispersion liner from students Jon Harvey, Matthew Henschen and Adam Koesters reduces the likelihood that patients secured to a backboard during trauma treatment will develop bedsores by decreasing pressure on the heels, tailbone, shoulders and head of the victim;
A 3-D tracking interface for commercial outlets from students Robert Campbell, Daniel DeRoma, Kevin Flory and Charles Gatian uses Radio Frequency Identification to relay information about the location of high-valued inventory items, employees and shopping carts to help with theft prevention and trend monitoring; and
• An I-Jack from students Fahad Al-Hajri, Ali Alkhaldi and Abdullah Al-Shehri that integrates a lifting system into a vehicle’s pre-existing frame to aid in repairs and maintenance without the usual need for special external jacks and physical exertion.
Students from the departments of Bioengineering, Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Engineering Technology, and Mechanical Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering will have projects on display.

Cleveland goes to college, UT guarantees it
As a couple of dozen University of Toledo admission staff members and administrators rolled toward Cleveland early Friday morning on a bus specially “wrapped” to promote the UT Guarantee, hundreds of high school seniors from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) were being bused to meet them at John Hay High School and learn more about the new scholarship program.
Seniors from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District filled out applications to UT Friday.The UT Guarantee offers 100 percent tuition and general fees for academically qualified students who also have financial need in six Ohio urban communities, including Cleveland. The event on Friday came about because of Cleveland’s excitement for the program.
“Through our ‘Cleveland Goes to College’ initiative, we are determined to increase the number of our students who pursue a degree in higher education,” said Eugene Sanders, CEO of CMSD. “The UT Guarantee is a program that should go a long way in making the dream of college a reality for many of our deserving students.”
Approximately 500 CMSD seniors with at least a 3.0 grade point average, or close to it, who also may qualify for a federal Pell Grant were bused to John Hay from schools throughout the district for a half-day of information and events put on by UT. Many parents also attended.
“The UT Guarantee is a very exciting opportunity, and we want to do everything we can to make sure our students and parents are fully aware of it,” Sanders said.
Activities included an opportunity for students to fill out an application to UT and meet with an admission counselor; a college fair with information about UT’s academic programs; a panel discussion with current and former UT students from Cleveland; a step show; and a live Web message from UT President Lloyd Jacobs.
“Many of the students who take advantage of the UT Guarantee will be the first person in their family to attend college,” said Larry Burns, UT vice president for external affairs. “We believe this is a program that over time will change the lives of young people for generations to come. It is very gratifying to see the enthusiasm the guarantee has generated.”
The other public school districts eligible for the UT Guarantee are Akron, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo.
Students must meet the following eligibility requirements:
• Apply for admission by Jan. 5;
• File Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by April 1;
• Display any eligibility for a Pell Grant; and
• Have a minimum high school grade point average of 3.0.
“The UT Guarantee is about more than just increasing enrollment and spreading the UT name,” Burns said. “The program is mission-driven in that it helps us improve the human condition.”
Sanders added, “Due to today’s high cost of a college education, many high school students and their parents don’t think about it as a realistic opportunity. CMSD and UT want to change that mindset and get our urban students to begin preparing themselves for a university education when they’re in junior high school. With the UT Guarantee, financial need has been largely taken out of the equation.”
The UT Guarantee program is good for all four years of school, as long as its recipients maintain a 3.0 grade point average, complete 30 credit hours each school year, and file a FAFSA annually.

President briefs Finance Committee on budget scenarios
During The University of Toledo Board of Trustees’ Finance Committee meeting held yesterday morning at the Dana Conference Center on Health Science Campus, President Lloyd Jacobs reiterated comments made in a campus video on Friday, saying that due to the tough economic times in Ohio, the University will have to lay off some employees.
Jacobs told the board that the administration already has a number of steps designed to ease the situation; these include tightening position controls and reducing expenses. Now it appears necessary to eliminate select temporary positions.
“We will make these moves as humanely as possible,” Jacobs said of the layoffs. Notifications will begin this week.
He also announced that funding from all empty positions now will be centralized and require justification and administrative approval in order to begin the hiring process.
Moving forward, Jacobs said each budgetary area within the University will be asked to consider FY10 budget scenarios with reductions of 7 percent and 15 percent.
Jacobs also told Finance Committee members that if the University lays off more than 50 people in any one business unit, it will be required to offer an early retirement plan. He noted that funding such a plan out of the FY09 budget may be best because the FY10 and FY11 budgets are expected to be much worse.
“We must remain focused and continue working on our strategic plan,” Jacobs said. “If we do that, I am confident we will emerge an even stronger University.”
Dr. Scott Scarborough, senior vice president for finance, then walked the committee through a PowerPoint presentation given earlier this month by the Ohio Office of Budget and Management that projects a $4.7 billion budget deficit across the state’s 2010 and 2011 fiscal year budgets due to the erosion of revenues and tax losses of historic proportions.
