Re: Election of Student Members for the ME Dept. Student Fee Appropriations Committee
The student fee appropriations
committee for the Mechanical Engineering Department
will include five Mechanical Engineering students
who will be elected to
the committee. These members will be composed of two
lower division students and three upper division
students. Lower division students must have completed
between 5-14 ME units.
Upper division students must have completed
more than 15 ME units. All students enrolled in the Mechanical
Engineering major are eligible to be nominated to
the committee. The nomination process
will consist of having prospective candidates fill
out applications. The applications, along with information
about the election will be e-mailed by April 24,
2002 to all Mechanical Engineering students.
Flyers will also be posted in the hallways
and faculty will be encouraged to announce the availability
of applications to their classes. Applications will
also be available via the Internet and in the Mechanical
Engineering Department office. The completed application
must be submitted at the Mechanical Engineering
Department office no later than 5 p.m. on Friday
May 3, 2002. The application will ask the candidate
to state his/her qualifications for committee participation. Each candidate’s statement will be available
on the Internet and will be posted outside the Dept.
office for students to view.
An information session will be held on May
9, 2002 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Courtyard
of Bldg 13 for candidates to speak about their qualifications
for committee membership.
The election will be held
on May 9, 2002 following the information session. A voting booth will be set up in the Bldg
13 Courtyard from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Only Mechanical Engineering students
will be allowed to vote. Paper copies of each candidate’s statement
of qualifications will be available for students
to review at the voting booth.
Ballots will also be accepted from 2-5
p.m. in the Mechanical Engineering Department
office on May 9th and from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. on May 10th. The ballot will separate candidates into
lower and upper division students.
The two candidates from the lower division
and three candidates from the upper division
who receive the most votes will be elected
to the fee appropriations committee.
If there are fewer than two lower division
candidates running for committee positions,
these positions will be occupied by upper division
students.
