Quick List returns to People Finder at AUM.edu
Back by popular demand, the Quick List has returned to AUM.edu's People Finder. Users of the People Finder now have the options to print the full AUM directory or the Quick List. After selecting People Finder at the top of any page at www.aum.edu, users have the options below the “Search by Name” box to Print Full Directory or Print Quick List. The Quick List is a two-page document that includes AUM units, unit heads, administrative support personnel and the number of the administrative support person. The best thing about these features is that both lists are always as up-to-date as People Finder (People Finder is updated each time a personnel change occurs and is submitted to University Relations through the Office of Human Resources). And don't forget - staff users with profiles in People Finder can keep their profiles current through My AMPS. Users who find any errors or have questions about this feature should contact Charise Alexander at 244-3643 or calexa19@aum.edu.

Pre-engineering students visit state-of-the-art manufacturer of laminated timber
Members of the AUM Pre-engineering Club, along with advisor Dr. Yi Wang, visited Structural Wood Systems, a division of Harrison Industries Inc., in Greenville, Ala., on March 2. Students Stetson McCain, Cameron Kieffer and Eddie Johnson II were welcomed by Chief Engineer Pat Levy and Production Manager Steve Bush at the company, which produces state-of-the-art, customized laminated timber for curveous domes, frames, arches, ship frames, etc. The team toured storage, sorting, gluing, arch production and steel joint workshops. The team also witnessed the actual gluing process of two beams and learned that two beams are finger-jointed together with heated glue by cutting their ends into finger shapes. A company engineer demonstrated a tension test on the glued wood beams. After the tour, the team had an enjoyable conversation with engineers accompanied by drinks and chips. On the way back to AUM, the team discussed possible research projects that may be of significance to the industry.
