ASHRAE really encourages that all of us participate in K-12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) activities. Judging science fairs, giving presentations and helping teachers with science resources are just a few of the ways we can make a difference. This year I have done one high school level presentation on the role refrigeration has played in mining and have a couple of junior high presentations on hydraulics and pneumatics scheduled for the end of March. If you have an opportunity to participate, I strongly encourage you to do so (and please let me know). It is a fun way to give back.
Remember to bring any HVAC/R textbooks that you want to donate to ASHRAE student chapters in developing economies to a monthly meeting so I can get them where they need to go.
As always, students are welcome at any monthly meeting for $5.00!

The November 8th meeting will be the first of two student nights; as always students are welcome at every meeting with the reduced meal rate of $5.
As was mentioned last month, we are strongly encouraging ASHRAE members participate in K-12 science and math programs and events. I hope you take advantage of any opportunities you have to do class presentations or participate in programming like science fairs. Please let me know if you have any involvement with these types of events or if you know of opportunities but aren’t able to participate yourself.
ASHRAE has started a new program this year to help student members and student chapters in developing economies by collecting and donating HVAC/R related books. Please bring any of your unwanted HVAC/R textbooks to a monthly meeting or contact me to make other arrangements.
Students are encouraged to apply for society level scholarships at www.ashrae.org/scholarships. Deadline is Dec. 1. These scholarships are in addition to the chapter sponsored scholarships that we provide to the U of S and to Kelsey – SIAST.

As in recent years, we are likely going to do two student nights this year. Students are encouraged to attend every meeting and will be charged a reduced dinner fee of $5.00.
We have also committed to doing a lecture and tour for the ME491 class at the U of S again this year (Chris Conley and Michael Nemeth did it last year on the Cameco Operations Center). If anyone has a project they would like to showcase to the students, please let me know as soon as possible. The lecture and tour date is November 28th.

Several students attended the February student night where they heard Tim McGinn speak about European HVAC technologies and meet some of the regular ASHRAE members.
I recently attended the U of S Engineering Awards night where I was happy to present the ASHRAE Scholarship to Jonathan Wiebe. Jonathan is finishing up his last year of school and is looking for a job (wink wink).

February's meeting is our second of two student nights for this season. We will make an extra effort to encourage student attendance along with the very-affordable $5 dinner which students enjoy at any meeting.
This month's topic is Applications of European HVAC Technology in North America.
The speaker, Tim McGinn, has many years of experience in the HVAC field and is an ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer. It should be a very interesting talk.
These meetings provide an ideal opportunity for students to learn about our industry and meet potential employers in a relaxed and informal setting.

Chris Conley and I delivered a lecture and tour to the ME 491 Thermal Systems Design class at the U of S on November 29. The lecture gave an overview of the whole building process from conception to design to construction to occupancy.
The lecture set the students up for the tour of the recently constructed Cameco Operations Centre. Chris gave an excellent tour showcasing the many innovative technologies used in the building and gave the students the opportunity to see, in operation, the systems they've been studying all term.
Student Nights:
As in previous years we will hold two Student Nights during our ASHRAE meetings this fall / spring. However, students are welcome to attend any meeting.
These meetings provide an ideal opportunity for students to learn about our industry and meet potential employers in a relaxed and informal setting.
Students will be charged a reduced dinner fee (only $5) to encourage their attendance.

October's meeting is our first of two student nights for this season. We will make an extra effort to encourage student attendance along with the very-affordable $5 dinner which students enjoy at any meeting.
This month's topic is ASHRAE's new green building standard, Standard 189. Anyone interested in alternative energy and sustainable design should find this very interesting. It's exciting to be involved in an industry that embraces sustainable design more and more.
The speaker, Tom Watson, has many years of experience in the HVAC field and is quite accomplished (see bio above).
These meetings provide an ideal opportunity for students to learn about our industry and meet potential employers in a relaxed and informal setting.
