UAB Tour, Chili Dinner, and Basketball












Been awhile since you have visited UAB’s campus? Want to find a way to support future engineering students? Or just want to come out and see what’s new?

UAB Baja and SAE Alabama invites us to a Chili Dinner and the UAB vs Marshall men’s basketball game on January 26th beginning at 5:30 pm. See below for full schedule for the evening.

During dinner, they will be presenting information about the upcoming Baja SAE Birmingham competition and it’s need for volunteers and sponsorship.UAB Engineering is an organizer for the Baja competition this year along with the SAE Alabama Section. They are very excited about this opportunity to host and see it as part of the program’s growth. The UAB Baja program moved into the top 25 nationally last year and it was the first time they competed with 2 cars. They will need volunteers onsite for the events as well as design judges before and during the event.

After dinner, tours of selected new/improved labs will be available. The School of Engineering has added several new labs in the past few years including the MPAD (MSE composites and casting group), the VISCUBE (ME visualization lab) and the School of Engineering Design lab.

To finish out the night, they have invited us to join them for the UAB vs Marshall men’s basketball game. Tickets will be sponsored by the UAB School of Engineering so let us know early if you would like to attend.

5:30-6:20pm Dinner in BEC Lobby
6:20- 6:45pm Visit labs/ projects
7pm~ UAB Blazer Basketball

More details will be provided after registration.

They are looking for representation from all of the professional societies in the Birmingham area.

This is a free event, however, I would suggest that the SME membership come together and collect donations that can be made on behalf of SME.

Please register before Sunday, January 23rd so we can give them a head count to prepare.

Register by sending an e-mail to Blane.Vines@nucor.com or markpartyka@yahoo.com.
