Tau Beta Pi Welcome Letter
Fellow Tau Bates,
On behalf of the Tau Beta Pi Association and of its seventh district, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 112th annual TBP Convention! Through this Convention, we celebrate the rich history and proud tradition of Tau Beta Pi, while continuing to adapt and evolve with the ever-chang-ing environment of today. As members of this distinguished society, you uphold its values of out-standing scholarship and exemplary character. Now, by stepping up as leaders for you chapter, you demonstrate the drive and enthusiasm to pave the way for progress – both of the society and of the engineering profession. For this, I congratulate and applaud you. In the next few days, you will have the opportunity to represent your chapter in executing the important business of TBP, to receive invaluable training that will help you lead your chapter, and to meet other exceptional students and alumni from across the country.
This year, the Michigan Gamma Chapter (MI G) and the Ann Arbor Area Alumni Chapter (AAAAC) are excited to co-host Convention in the Ann Arbor Area, at the Edward Hotel and Convention Center in Dearborn, and on the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor campus. Alongside Headquarters staff, they have devoted the past few months to tirelessly prepare for another exciting and event-filled Convention. While here, I also invite everyone to join us as we commemorate the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial! Throughout 2017, we are celebrating 200 years of the university’s remark-able accomplishments towards fostering technical excellence, developing leaders, celebrating and increasing diversity, and advancing equality. While celebrating the past, we also look forward to how we, as a community, can continue to best shape the leaders of tomorrow to help create a bright and inclusive future. While the responsibilities and activities of the Convention will doubtlessly keep you busy, the members of MI G, AAAAC, and I encourage you to engage in the festivities that com-memorate this historic event.
Convention is a busy time for all attendees, consisting of multiple business and district meetings. You will also have many opportunities for professional development, particularly through the Convention Recruitment Fair hosted in collaboration with the University of Michigan College of Engineering. You will also have opportunities to network with students, alumni, and advisors at the alumni networking event and at various other social gatherings.
I hope that you enjoy your time here at Michigan and will carry the energy and enthusiasm of this event to your home chapter. Thank you, and have a great Convention! And of course, Go Blue!
Sincerely,
Michael Hand III, MI G ’11 TBP District 7 Director

Host Chapters & City Info for 112th Convention
On behalf of MI Gamma and the Ann Arbor Area Alumni Chapter, welcome to the urban oasis of Ann Arbor, the fifth-largest city in Michigan! Home to the Michigan Wolverines, Ann Arbor is a quintessential college town known for its picturesque natural environment, globally-inspired culture, vibrant local nightlife and renowned festivals and traditions, including the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, Ann Arbor Art Fair, and Football season at the ‘Big House.’
Leading up to the late 18th century, much of the regions east and west of Lake Michigan had been occupied by the Potawatomi Indians, and by the end of the French period they had migrated to areas surrounding Detroit. In 1774, the Potawatomi established two villages in the area that would eventually become Ann Arbor. On September 24, 1817, the first cor-nerstone of the University of Michigan, or Catholepistemiad as it was first named, was laid in Detroit. A mere five days later, the Treaty of Fort Meigs was signed by the Native tribes, including the Potawatomis, seceding nearly 2000 acres of their land as a gift for the Univer-sity. Ann Arbor was founded on this land in 1824 by John Allen and Elisha Walker Rumsey, the city being named after their respective wives Ann Allen and Mary Ann Rumsey, and in 1837, the University of Michigan was relocated to Ann Arbor.
Alongside its growing academic standards, U of M rapidly gained momentum as a promi-nent powerhouse for research innovation, scientific discovery, liberal arts, athletics, profes-sional education and student activism. In the 200 years since, it has been home to numerous historic events, such as the announcement of the Salk polio vaccine, creation of the Peace Corp by President John F. Kennedy on the steps of the Michigan Union, unveiling of the Great Society pro-gram by President Lyndon B. John-son, etc. Mementos of the univer-sity’s impressive history are spread across its various campuses in the form of iconic landmarks, such as the Diag ‘Brass M,’ Michigan Stadium, Michigan Union, Burton Memorial Tower, the Law Quad, Rackham Graduate School, and the Duderstadt Art, Architecture and Engineering Library (affectionately called ‘The Dude’).
The College of Engineering (CoE), which dominates most of the University’s North Cam-pus, was founded in 1854 and has consistently been among the top ten engineering schools in the country, and among the top 15 worldwide. CoE houses various engineering fields, including aerospace, biomedical, chemical, civil and environmental, computer science, electrical, material science, nuclear, etc. Bringing together the great minds of these diverse engineering fields is the MI Gamma Chapter, second largest in the country having initi-ated over 10,000 members to-date, including notable personalities like American astronaut Edward H. White II, and Google co-founder & CEO Larry Page. The chapter co-hosts the largest academic career fair in the country, and in any given term organizes close to 100 service, social, and professional development events.

Scott: Our world needs leaders: thought leaders, team leaders, and effective leaders that can solve problems and influence others to support creative solutions. We need leaders that inspire integrity and excellence throughout industry and beyond. We need our leaders to represent the best of us. So if we need the best, most creative problem solvers to serve as the leaders of tomorrow, why not look to the best engineers in the country? Given Tau Beta Pi’s presence in almost every engineer-ing program in the United States and at dozens of alumni chapters, TBP has an amazing potential to foster the industry leaders we need. If elected, I will work to increase collegiate member professional and leadership development through greater interaction between alumni and collegiate members. I will work with the alumni chapters and the District Director team to build opportunities for alumni-student mentorship,
coaching, informational talks, and career guidance both at TBP conferences and on campus. I will seek greater support from alumni to give TBP more visibility through projects supporting local campuses and communities, and seek ongoing financial support to sustain our efforts well into the future. I graduated with a B.S. in mechanical engineering from University of California, Irvine, and went on to earn a master’s at UC Berkeley. As a supervisor at Pacific Gas and Electric Company, I lead a team that reviews clean tech funding applications from our business customers, ensuring regulatory compliance and technical accuracy. I have volunteered continuously with TBP for 20 years, most recently as a District 15 Director and a chapter advi-sor for CA Eta. In these roles, I consistently applied best practices from program management, team development, group training, and operational strategy to improve District 15 chapters and transfer successes to the national District Program.
Executive Council Candidates of Tau Beta Pi
Bruce A. DeVantier, Ph.D.,P.E.IL E ’77
Scott E. FableCA T ’96
Stephan L. King-MonroeMI E ’08
C. Craig Smith, P.E. TN E ’80
Bruce was initiated as a charter member of the Illinois Epsilon Chapter in 1976 at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC). He returned to SIUC to join the fac-ulty at his alma mater in 1983 and within a year became a collegiate chapter advisor. Three years later, he became Chief Advisor and serves in that capacity today. The fo-cus of Dr. DeVantier’s academic career has been water resources and environmental engineering. He has served as an Associate Editor of the Journal of Environmental Engineering and is a Diplomate of the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers. In addition to Tau Beta Pi, Dr. DeVantier has been active in various professional organizations; serving as a local president of three differ-ent engineering and scientific research organizations and was the SIUC Faculty Senate President in 2001-02.
Bruce first attended a TBP Convention for the centen-nial celebration at Lehigh in 1985 and has been to more than ten since, serving on the Advisor Committee for many of those. He has worked on the inspection teams for new TBP chapters at St. Louis Univ. and IUPUI. For the last five years, he has served as a District 8 Director and served three years on the Laureate Selection Committee. Dr. DeVantier’s extensive experience with TBP on the col-lege campus provides him with the knowledge and exper-tise to continue to help chapters succeed as they work to develop their initiates and complete their chapter projects. He has dedicated his career to the academic excellence and integrity goals, which are so important to our Associa-tion. His background and experience in academia will pro-vide an even greater voice for our campus chapters, which are in his opinion, the heart of the organization.

Executive Council Candidates of Tau Beta Pi
Stephan is a systems engineer for Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA. I started there after being recruited at the 2007 TBP Convention in Dearborn. I received my B.S. in electrical engineering in 2008 from Wayne State University and my M.S.E.E. in 2010 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. (I was a non-traditional student, getting a late start in school and regaining focus after attempting to become a chef.) I have been an active member of TBP since the day I was elected–involved in service to my chapter, as an alumni advisor, as an Engineering Futures Facilitator, and then as an Engineering Futures Program Committee member. I have attended 9 out of the last 10 Conventions and participated in 4 in an official capacity. I have worked annually with my employer to continue recruiting top tal-ent at the Convention’s Career Fair every year. Lastly, I engage with chapters in my home District 15. In addition to TBP, I’ve also held multiple leadership positions, both professionally and with other volunteer organizations. To begin with, my platform as Councillor will be to ensure the organization will work on its image. I believe our image can be improved at both the chapter level and the national level.
Candidates’ attention is limited, and I would propose initiatives to promote TBP as the student org. of choice for qualified students. Even though TBP has shaped my life, I almost didn’t follow through with the candidate process due to chapter image and candidate time requirements. All engineering students should view an invitation to TBP as a top honor. It will be worth their time because the name stands for something. At the national level, I believe we should use tech-nology to advance our cause and promote inclusivity. Although the energy of Convention must be experienced first hand, many of the valuable sessions can be brought back to local chapters through streaming media. Additionally, Engineering Futures is a valuable asset, and I want to continue efforts to refresh the modules. But above my platform, I have an invaluable asset hav-ing worked well with some of the members of the current EC while on the Engineering Futures Planning Committee. Since Executive Councillors are now voted as individual members rather than cohesive groups, having established relations with EC members will allow me to be more effec-tive on Day 1. I look forward to representing you well.
Craig’s engineering career was fated, I think. My father was a self-made engineer in the milling industry and my brother has two engineering degrees, civil and mechani-cal. In my family, the simplest topic got the full analytical treatment. I earned a B.S. in mechanical engineering and an M.S. in nuclear engineering. I work at a large Department of Energy research project, the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Although I remain an engineer at heart, my career path changed when I came to work one day and was informed that I was now a man-ager. At that time, my take on management was managers told people what to do. Wow, was I wrong! I learned that being a successful manager is essentially the opposite of that; an effective leader identifies what people are good at and works to remove obstacles so they can go do it. At ORNL, I have taken advantage of many leadership train-ing courses, participate in a book club centered on leader-ship issues, and continue to work on my soft skills. I DO have a life outside of work – In 1988, I stepped out of engineering and spent six months in a flight training school. I earned a commercial rating and am a certificated
flight instructor, instrument flight instructor, and multi- engine flight instructor. The detail, specificity, and con-tinuous decision-making necessary for successful flying correspond to two of my maxims in engineering: you must act and there are no coincidences. Additionally, I am an avid road cyclist and am active in the Great Smoky Moun-tains Alumni Chapter of TBP having served in most of the offices and attended Convention as a voting delegate. As an Executive Councillor, I will advocate for improved and continuous student/alumni interaction, more alumni involvement in general, and particularly to maintain the connection of graduating members with the organization. By nurturing the network that is Tau Beta Pi, all members will benefit from the connections so useful when chal-lenged by changing employment environments, emerging corporate trends, and personal life events. I am very excited to find a way to give back to the engineering community. My wife supports this opportunity as well, as she has allowed me to miss our 25th wed-ding anniversary this week to attend Convention. We will celebrate later this month in Rome.
