Michigan Tech’s 23rd Design Expo will be held April 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This year’s event will be spread across the first floor of the Van Pelt and Opie Library and the MUB Ballroom.

Design Expo is an annual event that highlights hands-on, discovery-based learning with a showcase of Enterprise and Senior Design/Capstone team projects from all across the Michigan Tech campus. That means teams from the College of Business, College of Sciences and Arts, College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science, and College of Engineering.

Design Expo Showcase
More than a thousand students will showcase their work and compete for awards. A panel of judges, made up of distinguished corporate representatives, alumni, community members and Michigan Tech faculty and staff, will view and critique project videos created by each team, then come to the Design Expo Showcase to meet the teams and ask questions live and in person.

Sign Up To Be a Judge
We welcome individuals from various professions, disciplines and backgrounds to serve as distinguished judges. In-person judging on the day of the event usually takes about an hour, depending on the number of volunteers. Prior to the event on April 18, judges will gain access to a digital gallery of student-created videos in order to preview the videos prior to judging.

Design Expo Social Hour and Awards Ceremony
After judging concludes at 2 p.m. April 18, everyone's invited to a social hour at the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts starting at 2:30 p.m., with light refreshments, entertainment and door prizes. Then, at 3:30 p.m., we will begin the Design Expo Awards Ceremony, where student teams will be recognized — and more than $3,000 in cash will be awarded.

All Design Expo events are free and open to the public. We encourage everyone to come help us celebrate our students and their achievements!

Design Expo is hosted by the Enterprise Program and the College of Engineering. Check out team project videos from past years in the Design Expo 2022 video gallery at mtu.edu/expo.

The Department of Humanities will be holding its first annual Humanities Media Student Showcase on April 20, designed to celebrate and raise awareness about the media and design work done by students in humanities media courses, by humanities majors, and those in the media production minor.

It is often the case within media courses that one moves from project to project, and those projects inevitably remain unseen on a hard drive. The intent of the media student showcase is to shake off the digital dust, bringing greater awareness to excellent design and media work produced in the humanities department each and every semester.



Professional visual designers from the community will join the event, providing applicants the opportunity to seek feedback on their work. A best in show and two runners-up awards will be announced during the event. Refreshments will be available.

The deadline to submit is Friday (April 7). Submission guidelines and criteria can be found on the Humanities Media Student Showcase page.

Questions may be directed to the organizers: Tom Adolphs at tcadolph@mtu.edu and Samantha Canevez at scanevez@mtu.edu.

We look forward to your submissions!

“Academic integrity is the moral code and ethical policy of scholarly work. It requires the adoption of educational values and the maintenance of academic standards. Academic integrity and honesty are central components of a student's education, and the ethical conduct maintained in an academic context will be taken eventually into a student's professional career. Academic integrity is essential in a community of scholars searching and learning to search for truth. Anything less than total commitment to integrity undermines the efforts of the entire academic community. Both students and faculty are responsible for ensuring the academic integrity of the university.”
— Michigan Tech Academic Integrity Policy (University Senate Policy 109.1)

While artificial intelligence (AI) can be a valuable resource for students, it also poses a significant challenge to academic integrity. The use of AI tools in academic settings raises questions about cheating, plagiarism and fabrication. Students must ensure that they are using AI ethically and in accordance with academic integrity policies. Here are some tips for maintaining academic integrity while using AI:

1. Understand the limitations of AI tools.
AI tools can be incredibly powerful, but they also have their limitations. Students should understand the capabilities of the AI tools they are using and be aware of the potential biases or errors that may arise. They should also double-check the output of AI tools and verify their accuracy before using them in their work.

2. Use AI tools as a supplement, not a replacement.
While AI tools can be useful, they should not be used as a replacement for critical thinking and analysis. Students should use AI tools as a supplement to their own research and writing, rather than relying on them entirely.

3. Cite sources properly.
When using AI tools to generate ideas or write portions of their papers, students must ensure that they cite their sources properly. If the AI tool has been trained on a particular source, it is essential to credit that source in the paper. Failure to do so could lead to accusations of plagiarism.

4. Be transparent about the use of AI tools.
Students should be transparent about their use of AI tools in their work. If an AI tool has been used to generate ideas or write portions of the paper, this should be disclosed in the paper. Being transparent about the use of AI tools can help to avoid accusations of academic misconduct.

5. Seek guidance from instructors.
Finally, students should seek guidance from their instructors if they are unsure about how to use AI tools ethically. Instructors can provide valuable guidance and resources to help students maintain academic integrity while using AI tools.

In conclusion, academic integrity is a crucial principle that all students must uphold throughout their academic careers. While AI can be a valuable resource for students, it also poses significant challenges to academic integrity. Students must ensure that they use AI tools ethically and in accordance with academic integrity principles.

“Worldwide, birding numbers grew dramatically during the pandemic as people looked for safe, healthy activities to replace some of the social things they used to do,” says Professor David Flaspohler, interim dean of the College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science.

What are you doing for supper tonight (April 3) at 6 p.m. ET? Grab a bite on Zoom with Flaspohler. He'll talk about the practice of bird-watching and birding, how you can get involved in it, the many physical and mental health benefits of birding — and what we can learn from birds that will enrich our lives and help us deal with challenges in life.

Joining in will be forest science Ph.D. student Ryne Rutherford and social sciences undergraduate Brendan Leddy — both avid birders.

As a researcher, Flaspohler seeks to understand how organisms interact with their environment. He pays particular attention to human-altered ecosystems — and species that are most sensitive to such changes.

Flaspohler also teaches Field Ornithology, a one-credit course that takes students on a three-day camping trip of birding throughout Michigan's Upper Peninsula during spring migration in early May.

Everyone's welcome at Husky Bites, a free interactive Zoom webinar hosted by College of Engineering Dean Janet Callahan. This will be the last session of Husky Bites for the spring 2023 semester (it will be back again in fall 2023!).

This family-friendly event is BYOC: Bring Your Own Curiosity. Learn something new in just 30 minutes (or so), plus plenty of time after for Q&A. Register to attend this Zoom session.

Please join the College of Business (COB) as we gather to celebrate the retirement of Sheila Milligan, associate teaching professor in accounting, on April 12 in the Rozsa Center Lobby.

Milligan’s career at Michigan Tech began in 1989, with a hiatus for family life. Her passion has always been students and the learning environment campus provides. During Milligan’s tenure, she was awarded COB’s Innovative Teaching Award and Outstanding Teaching Award, and the Provost’s Award for Sustained Teaching Excellence Award, and she was inducted into the Academy of Teaching Excellence. Milligan was also a finalist for the Michigan Association of CPAs’ Accounting Teaching and Excellence Award. A point of pride for Milligan: Five of her students have gone on to teach in the College. Her students may always remember that she humorously taught how to steal and get away with it — and how to live a good life afterward.

Stop by the reception for hors d'oeuvres and dessert from 4-6 p.m. A celebration program will begin at 4:30 p.m. Students are welcome — we hope to see you there!

Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering candidate Sarvada Chipkar will present their Ph.D. defense on Thursday (April 6) at noon in person in Chem Sci 201 or virtually via Zoom.

Chipkar is advised by Rebecca Ong.

The title of Sarvada's defense is “Studying drought effect on switchgrass and identifying associated microbial inhibitors.”

From the abstract:
Developing economically viable and greener pathways to synthesize renewable energy has become an important research theme in recent years. Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising group of feedstocks that can be used for second-generation biofuel production. Recent research has shown that environmental growth conditions alter biomass characteristics and directly influence the extent of biomass conversion to fuels. Previously, drought experienced by switchgrass during the growth phase led to complete inhibition of yeast in the hydrolysate during fermentation. My goal in this dissertation was to characterize specific compounds that led to this inhibition. Switchgrass harvested in drought (2012) and non-drought (2010) years were pretreated using ammonia fiber expansion (AFEX) followed by high solids loading enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. Additionally, untreated and AFEX processed samples were extracted using solvents (i.e., water, ethanol, and ethyl acetate) to selectively remove potential inhibitory compounds and determine whether pretreatment affects the inhibition. Using non-targeted LC-MS techniques, we found that water extraction of drought-year switchgrass before AFEX pretreatment was most effective in overcoming yeast inhibition. We also identified plant-generated natural laundry detergents in these water extracts that foam on agitation with water. To confirm their biocidal action, add-back fermentation experiments were performed in non-inhibitory hydrolysate using available commercial standards. In addition, the effect of simulated drought-like water-stress on switchgrass harvested on 5 marginal lands in Michigan and Wisconsin was also studied.

M.S. in Biological Sciences candidate Vanessa Cubillos will present a master's defense tomorrow (April 4) from 11 a.m. to noon in the Great Lakes Center, GLRC 202. Virtual attendance is also invited via Zoom. 

The title of Cubillos’ defense is "Under Ice Photosynthetic Primary Production and Dark Carbon Fixation in a Temperate Freshwater System."

From the abstract:
Ice-covered lakes are vulnerable to environmental change, especially those in the Northern Hemisphere where ice cover is rapidly declining due to global warming. These changes can alter metabolic processes and disrupt carbon cycling driven by primary producers who form the base of the food chain and are key to sustaining ecosystem function. Photosynthetic primary production and dark carbon fixation were investigated during ice cover in the Keweenaw Waterway using a carbon isotopic labeling (14C-bicarbonate) technique. Results revealed photosynthetic primary production was substantially reduced during ice cover, however, there was a relatively high abundance of chlorophyll-a present during the ice-covered period suggesting photoadaptation. Dark carbon fixation was also suppressed during the ice covered period compared to the open water period. Extracellular release of dissolved organic carbon associated with dark carbon fixation was substantially higher compared to photosynthetic primary production suggesting dark carbon fixation may be an important source of dissolved organic carbon in the water column. Together, these findings give insight into the relative importance of photosynthetic primary production and dark carbon fixation to aquatic carbon production and their response to changing environmental conditions.

Please join us for a panel discussion, "The Work of Art in the Age of AI Generation," as part of the "Art in Silico" series. The panel will discuss artificial intelligence (AI) art, ethics and philosophy. Snacks and beverages will be served.

The event will be held from 4-5 p.m. April 12 in the Great Lakes Research Center, GLRC 201/202. Participation is also invited virtually via Zoom.

Panelists include:

• Stefka Hristova, director of IPEC (Institute for Policy, Ethics and Culture) and associate professor of digital media, Department of Humanities, MTU
• Donald Landes, artist and associate professor of philosophy, Université Laval Quebec City, Quebec, Canada
• Scott Marratto, chair of the Department of Humanities and associate professor of philosophy, MTU
• Alexandra Morrison executive member of IPEC, associate professor of philosophy, and ethics and philosophy minor advisor, MTU

PhD Defense: John Velat, HU

Ph.D. in Rhetoric, Theory, and Culture candidate John Velat will present their doctoral defense at 10 a.m. today (April 3). The defense will be held in Walker 318. Virtual attendance is also invited via Zoom.

Velat's defense is titled “The Rhetorical Art of Risk Assessment: Lessons from Risk Management in Rural and Tribal Communities.”

From the abstract:
Risk assessment, mitigation, and communication rely on data from multiple sources to form a complete understanding of hazards and how to manage them. Experts can use these data to make informed decisions about the nature and extent of risks and inform the public to protect health, the environment, and economic welfare. However, in an effort to objectively make decisions, technical experts and policymakers increasingly rely on quantitative data as the most important determinator of risk, which can alienate the public, limit risk understanding, and delay or miss obvious signals of impending catastrophe. I examine several cases based on my experiences practicing and researching traffic safety, public safety, and technical and professional communication (TPC). The cases include a look at the impact of limited quantitative data in addressing motor vehicle traffic injuries and death in American Indian and rural communities; the challenge of collecting accurate data by first responders and firefighters to better understand and respond to health and physical hazards; and a recent history of failures to prevent airline and aerospace disasters due to an overemphasis on quantifiable data and devaluation of expert knowledge. The results of this study call attention to the weaknesses resulting from a quantitative imperative in risk management and a proposal for renewed focus on risk assessment using rhetorical practices and qualitative data readily available from expert and non-expert perspectives.
