MSE Summer Conference Room Reservations
by Maddison DeLaney Walsh 28 Apr '25

28 Apr '25

Hello MSE Department! As we are finishing up the spring semester, we are now opening up Summer conference room reservations. You can book the conference rooms through August 22nd. Anything past that will be declined and sent back. Here are the instructions for booking a conference room: MSE uses Outlook to book all of our conference rooms. Here are the instructions for how to reserve a room via Outlook: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Support/KB/Docs/How%20to%20reserve%20room Materials Engineering Conference Rooms ARMS 2326 | Fits 24 people (Projector Screen) ARMS 2237 | Fits 8 people (TV Screen with adapters) ARMS 2222 | Fits 7 people (TV Screen with adapters) ARMS B197 | Fits 12 people (TV Screen with adapters) Rooms will be listed as "Materials Engineering - ARMS 2xxx" along with their capacity. If it does not state MSE, it belongs to another department and it may not be approved by the other department. All departments reserve the right to remove room reservations in favor of their department's needs. (i.e. Aero will kick you out of their conference room if they need it) [cid:e4c522ca-d97a-4bc4-a643-c3752fcad31a] General Reminders: * Due to the limited meeting rooms available for MSE in ARMS, please do not double-book rooms. * Cancel/adjust reservations as soon as they change ahead of time. * Room administrations reserve the right to release room reservations if we notice users are not utilizing their reserved time slots * All of our conference rooms close at 5 pm unless you are accompanied by a faculty member except for ARMS B197. If you are in one of the three conference rooms (2222, 2237, 2326) at 5 pm without a faculty member, we will ask you to leave. * When submitting a request, please put what it is for in the title line. Ex: Prof. __ Meeting or (Company) Senior Design Group. This helps us understand who is using the room and for what. * Requests sent in minutes before your meeting is set to start, will not be approved and posted, and we will not kick out individuals who are currently in the room for a last-minute request. * Please send in any conference room request at least 24 hours in advance that way we can update the schedule and adjust if needed. Finally, I would also like to remind everyone to take care of the conference rooms while you use them, as the entire department uses them. Remember to push your chairs in, wipe off the whiteboards/tables, and turn off the Lights/TV/Projector/AV equipment once you are done. These conference rooms are shared by everyone in the MSE department, including outside visitors and industrial partners. Users who are not following the posted room usage expectations are subject to losing their room privileges Maddi Walsh Senior Administrative Assistant School of Materials Engineering Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering Office: 765-496-0460 [cid:f5ffe840-9c82-4fa8-a0e1-492ba686bc8d]<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefens…>

I really enjoyed taking your Failure Analysis class back in Fall 2023- it has greatly benefited me. I graduated from Purdue in Fall 2024 and am now working at Dow in Michigan. I want to share the attached information regarding a symposium organized by Dow intended for underrepresented U.S. doctoral and post-doctoral scientists to learn more the research and careers at Dow. Please pass it along to your students- especially if anyone might find it beneficial. My team is hoping to increase participation from mechanical and materials engineering students, so any help spreading the word would be greatly appreciated. We are now <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdow.wd1.m…> accepting applications<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdow.wd1.m…> for the 19th annual Dow Building Engineering and Science Talent (BEST) Symposium. This year's BEST symposium will be held virtually on July 28 - July 30, 2025. The symposium is primarily intended to introduce underrepresented U.S. doctoral and postdoctoral scientists to the wide range of rewarding careers in industrial research, and in particular, the many opportunities with one of the world's largest and leading materials science companies, Dow. This conference, developed jointly by our minority scientists and Ph.D. recruiting team, demonstrates our commitment to an inclusive work force. We would greatly appreciate your help to forward this to graduate students and post-doctoral scientists. Applicants must be pursuing degrees in: Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or other closely related fields and should have a doctorate degree or expect to receive one by November 2026. Additional information may be found at our website<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcorporate…>. All applications are due by April 30, 2025.
