Dean’s Message
A
s I’ve mentioned in previous issues of our Capstone Engineer, one
of the activities that I enjoy as dean is to travel across the United
States meeting our outstanding alumni. Our alumni have followed so many
different successful paths in their lives.
Many of our alumni have followed non-traditional paths and this issue
of the Capstone Engineer focuses on some of those exciting careers.
Besides the stories here, our alumni have designed and built NASCAR racetracks, and created and led companies in the service and manufacturing
fields. Some alumni have been elected or appointed to serve in city, state
and federal government. We also have alumni who have been major land
and housing developers, as well as senior military officers.
We have alumni who have also received law degrees and practice in a
wide range of legal professions from environmental law to corporate law to
patent law. Some have gone on to receive medical degrees and practice
nearly every type of medicine.
Our alumni have continued their educations to earn master’s and doctoral degrees not only in engineering, but also in business and other fields.
They have been leaders in engineering colleges nationwide, and some have
become deans. We have engineering alumni who have gone on to be senior
scientists for NASA and other government laboratories, as well as one
becoming an astronaut.
I hope you will enjoy this issue of the Capstone Engineer and reading
about the varied careers of our alumni as much as I have enjoyed meeting
these outstanding engineers.
Changing subjects, I want to tell you how pleased we are to have
President Robert E. Witt and his wife, Mrs. Anne Witt, as our new president
and first lady of the University. They joined us March 1 and immediately
began to influence the University’s and College’s directions. President Witt
is a strong supporter of the College of Engineering—undergraduate and
graduate teaching, research and scholarship. One of his five key points is
to increase the research performed on this campus, and
the College of Engineering is
the leader on externally funded research at The University
of Alabama. He also speaks
to urgency, wanting to seek
growth in all aspects of the
University. Our goal of
increasing our undergraduate
enrollment from 1,583
undergraduates in the year
2003 to 2,010 in the year
2010 is an indication of how
urgent the College of
Engineering believes it is to
grow this important component of our College.
The College continues to grow, and I thank you on behalf of the students, faculty and staff. I thank you for all of the contributions and support
that you give to the College of Engineering that allow us to continue to follow our motto—“Excellence and Leadership in Engineering Education.”
Timothy J. Greene
Dean, College of Engineering
Message from National Chair
I
t is a privilege to serve as national chair of the Capstone Engineering Society, and I look forward to
working with the College of Engineering staff and alumni. I am proud to be a graduate of the University
and being involved in CES has allowed me to give back a little to the College of Engineering.
The primary objective of CES is to provide financial support to engineering and computer science students. This is done through scholarships awarded to highly qualified and deserving students. Attracting the
top level high-school graduates to our College benefits them and allows us to continue in developing a program that will be second to none. The goal at Alabama is always to be number one, and the College of
Engineering is no exception. The best way to make this happen is through the active support from all engineering alumni.
I encourage each of you to become involved through your financial contributions and active participation
in the functions of the CES. There are many opportunities to participate both in your local area and on campus. I’m sure you will benefit from interaction with current students, as well as visiting with alumni who
were in school when you attended. It is a good way to renew old friendships and to make new ones.
I hope to see you at the CES tent prior to home football games this fall.
Best regards,
Rodney W. Summerford, PE

OUTSIDE
I
n today’s society, we are all encour-
aged to “think outside the box” and
come up with innovative solutions to
complex situations. This cliché encourages looking at projects and life in a
new way, perhaps even questioning conventional wisdom. These University of
Alabama College of Engineering alumni
did just that—thought creatively and
responded to their own dreams, not to
fixed ideas of what engineers should
be—and got fantastic results.

Tuscaloosa Mayor
Al DuPont, B.S.C.E. ’61
“I BECAME INTERESTED IN
POLITICS IN LOUISIANA, AS I WAS
As a young boy, Al DuPont would watch
engineers build levies on the Mississippi River
near his family’s farm in Louisiana. He knew
that was what he wanted to do when he grew
up. And he did, that is, after he served as a
medic in the U.S. Army during World War II.
During his short military term, he was wounded
twice, received two Purple Hearts and married a
girl from Tuscaloosa, Ala.
DuPont began his engineering career working for the highway department and studying at
Louisiana State University. On one of his many
visits to Tuscaloosa, he met University of
Alabama professors Warren Keith and Longino
Woodman while working on a Tuscaloosa water
shortage problem. They convinced him to work
for the City of Tuscaloosa and attend the
University.
GROWING UP DURING THE
DEPRESSION.”
After working for the City for more than 30
years, DuPont decided he wanted a change. “I
had kids out of school, out of college,” he said,
“so I decided to run for mayor.”
He has been elected mayor of Tuscaloosa six
times since that decision. He admits that even
before he was interested in engineering, he was
interested in politics. “I became interested in
politics in Louisiana, as I was growing up during
the Depression,” DuPont said. “My family have
always been supporters of politics. We even
entertained (former Louisiana governor) Huey
Long at our farm.”
. . . the Courtroom
Patent Attorney Pete Pappas,
B.S.Ch.E. ’84, J.D. ’87
Patent attorney Pete Pappas started at the
Capstone in chemical engineering. During final
exams of his junior year, he decided he didn’t
want to be a chemical engineer after all but he
didn’t know what he wanted to do. Then he
spoke with Dr. Ervin Van Artsdalen, a professor
in the physical chemistry department, and that
conversation changed his life. Van Artsdalen suggested that Pappas go to law school and consider becoming a patent attorney.
“To become a registered patent attorney, you
must have a degree in engineering or science,”
explained Pappas. “My job is to protect technology and I have to understand that technology in
great detail and be able to explain it in writing.
Because of the technical nature of the products I
represent, I use my chemical engineering degree
every day.”
Today, Pappas is a partner in the Atlanta firm
Sutherland Asbil & Brennan and concentrates
primarily in chemical patent prosecution,
mechanical patent prosecution, federal trademark prosecution, and licensing. One of the
most fulfilling aspects of his job is representing
the Coca-Cola Co. and understanding the history
and technology of such an interesting company.
Sorry, but Pappas does not have the recipe.
“BECAUSE OF THE TECHNICAL NATURE OF THE PRODUCTS I REPRESENT,
I USE MY CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DEGREE EVERY DAY.”

Ambassador Joe Rodgers, B.S.C.E ’56
Joe Rodgers has engineering in his blood; his father, three brothers and brother-in-law were all
engineers. “It just seemed like the thing to do,” Rodgers said, on the decision to study engineering.
However, he did rebel just a bit—he went to UA instead of Auburn. His father, who was the
Alabama highway director and worked closely with Auburn and UA, recommended the Capstone.
During his engineering career, Rodgers worked for and founded several successful contracting
firms, but another duty was calling.
“I’ve always felt that people have a responsibility to be involved in politics,” he said. “One way is
to vote—going further is to actively participate.”
Rodgers participated and became chairman of several committees and campaigns for the
Republican Party, including the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and the U.S. Trade
Representative’s Foreign Investment Advisory Committee.
His most rewarding achievement was being appointed U.S. ambassador to France in 1985, a
position he held until 1989. French President François Mitterrand awarded him Grand Officer of the
Legion of Honor, a rank only seven other living Americans hold.
Even after all of his political success, he still returned to his first passion—engineering. He is
still actively involved in Rodgers Capital Corp. and American Constructors Inc., which he founded.
“I’VE ALWAYS FELT THAT PEOPLE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO BE
INVOLVED IN POLITICS. ONE WAY IS TO VOTE—GOING FURTHER IS TO
ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE.”

Studio Executive
Bernard Weitzman, B.S.C.E. ’47
Bernard Weitzman earned a civil engineering degree from The University of Alabama, and
then returned to his home state of Massachusetts
to work for an engineering firm in Boston. He
wouldn’t stay long; his dreams were calling him
to Hollywood.
“I always wanted to be in show business,”
Weitzman said. “And back then engineers
weren’t too well paid. There was a lot more
money, and a lot more laughs in show
business.”
Weitzman worked his way from being an
usher to being an executive at Desilu, Lorimar,
MGM and Universal Studios, working on shows
like “I Love Lucy” and movies like Duel, which
launched Steven Spielberg’s career. Today, he is
president of Sussex Ltd., a management company
for aspiring writers, actors and producers.
It took a great deal of hard work, and a

little bluffing, to get to the top, he said. He’ll
never forget the feeling of accomplishment he
had when Universal Studios named him a vice
president and general manager.
He didn’t listen to anyone who told him that
he wouldn’t make it, that he should just stay in
Boston. Some called him crazy, but he followed
his dreams, and they took him right to where he
belongs.

Environmental Attorney
John Daniel, B.S.C.E. ’65,
J.D. ’68
“MY PROUDEST ACHIEVEMENT IS
Another of our graduates who chose to put
his engineering expertise to use in the legal
arena, John Daniel has devoted his career to
environmental concerns. Daniel grew up with
the desire to be both an engineer and attorney;
he just had to figure a way to use both degrees
together.
As he was preparing for life after law school,
Dr. James Walters, professor emeritus of civil
engineering, suggested he work in the public
health service. In 1968, Daniel was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Public Health
Service; he was one of two chosen that year
because he had engineering and law degrees.
He was placed in air pollution control at the
federal level.
Since then, his career has soared in environmental law, especially in dealing with government contracts and policies. Daniel has held
ALABAMA IN THE 1970S.”
DEVELOPING THE AIR POLLUTION
STANDARDS IN THE STATE OF
several government positions, including chief
of staff of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, chief of the Environmental Law Division
of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, and counsel to the then Alabama Air Pollution Control
Commission.
“My proudest achievement is developing the
air pollution control standards in the state of
Alabama in the 1970s,” explained Daniel. “At the
time Alabama had the worst air pollution laws in
the country, and my engineering degree enabled
me to combine the science aspect with the new
air pollution laws.” Today, Daniel is an attorney
in the Washington, D.C., office of the Atlantabased law firm Powell, Goldstein, Frazer &
Murphy.
. . . the Doctor’s Office
Ophthalmologist Dr. Patricia McCoy, B.S.Ch.E. ’85
Dr. Patricia McCoy always wanted to be a doctor, but she grew up in Huntsville, Ala., an engineering town, and her father is an engineer. So, when she started at the Capstone she didn’t know if she
wanted to stay in school “forever” to become a doctor, and since she had a background in engineering, she decided on chemical engineering.
During her years in chemical engineering, she interned at Dow Chemical Co. in Baton Rouge, La.
“It was a lot of fun working in the chemical plant in the summer,” said McCoy.
She decided to stay in school and went to medical school at The University of Alabama at
Birmingham, then on to an internship at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., and her residency at the University of Tennessee at Memphis. Today, McCoy is a practicing ophthalmologist with
The Eye Center in Huntsville, Ala.
“I use the skills I learned in engineering every day,” explained McCoy. “Engineering basics are
problem solving skills and I encounter different types of problems with each patient I work with,
whether it is eye surgery for cataracts, glaucoma, crossed eyes or eye lids.”
“The part of the job I really love is that my patients see immediate results, and that differs from
my work in chemical engineering in that sometimes projects take weeks and sometimes months
before you can see the results,” said McCoy.
“I USE THE SKILLS I LEARNED IN ENGINEERING EVERY DAY.”
CE student balances
classwork with busy
rodeo schedule
B
ull riders live for the excitement, competitiveness, and adrenaline rush they
experience with every ride. They can’t
wait for the next opportunity to sit on a bull for
a mere eight seconds!
Brian Wheat, a sophomore in civil and environmental engineering, experiences that excitement every weekend bull riding in rodeos. As a
member of the Southern Pro Bull Riders
Association, Wheat competes in rodeos in
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Tennessee.
“Riding bulls is fun and
exciting, but I knew I wanted
to study engineering.”
A native of Tuscaloosa, Wheat got
interested in bull riding when a highschool friend talked him into trying it at
a practice area in Cottondale, Ala. After
that experience, he’s been riding ever
since. He was on the National High
School Finals team and was ranked in
the top four high-school bull riders in
the state of Alabama. Wheat was offered
scholarships to colleges with rodeo
teams throughout the Southeast, but he
decided not to accept them because
none of the colleges had engineering programs.
“Riding bulls is fun and exciting, but I knew
I wanted to study engineering,” said Wheat.
“Making a good salary bull riding is tough,
especially when you are injured. With engineering, I’ll be able to have a more stable career.”
Wheat’s best ride has been a high of 89
points out of 100. Another thrill was attending
the Terry Don West Bull Riding School. His
worst ride was in September 2001, when he dislocated his shoulder and had major reconstructive surgery on his face. After that ride, Wheat
now wears an optional safety helmet.
“So far, bull riding has not really interfered
with my school work, although I did have
to reschedule my final exam in Dr. Haynes’
class because I had a rodeo in Georgia,”
commented Wheat.
UA HONORS PIONEERS AT “OPENING DOORS” EVENT
College of Engineering strives for diversity
T
he University of Alabama honored outstanding pioneers who played
key roles in breaking racial barriers on campus as part of “Opening
Doors,” a three-day program June 9–11 that commemorated the 40th
anniversary of the first successful enrollment of African-American students
at the Capstone. Gov. George Wallace’s famous “stand in the schoolhouse
door” was met with a different reaction 40 years later when Gov. Bob Riley
welcomed Vivian Malone Jones with open arms.
“Diversity is an integral part of the success of this University,”
commented Dr. Timothy J. Greene, dean of the College of Engineering. “To
provide a well-rounded education, faculty, staff and students must interact
with each other to experience different backgrounds, races, religions and
cultures fully.”
The College of Engineering continues to recognize the importance of
diversity through its Multicultural Engineering Program (MEP), which was
established in 1987 through a joint grant from the National
Action Council for Minorities in Engineering and the Alfred P.
Sloan Foundation. MEP services include pre-college counseling;
enrollment counseling; tutorial assistance and counseling for
enrolled students; assistance with the Cooperative Education
Program; internship programs; and job placement upon
graduation. MEP also assists undergraduate students applying
for scholarships and other financial aid and provides
information about scholarships and fellowships for graduate
students.
To support the MEP, the Council of Partners, which was
formed three years ago, consists of eight corporate participants
who serve diversity programs as financial contributors, program
steering representatives, program evaluators and student
mentors. Each Council of Partners member sends a
representative to meet on the UA campus twice a year to give
oversight and direction to the College’s diversity programs.
“Currently, more than 18 percent of the College of
Engineering’s undergraduate population are minorities (AfricanAmerican, Hispanic and Native American). The College has
demonstrated a long-term commitment to improving
educational opportunities for minorities in engineering professions,” said
Miranda Carlisle, Southern Company multicultural engineering program
coordinator. “With a minimum annual contribution of $25,000 per year
for four years, the Council of Partners helps secure many opportunities for
our students.”
Recently, Honda Manufacturing of Alabama joined Alabama Power,
American Cast Iron Pipe Co. (ACIPCO), BE&K, BellSouth, Southern
Company, Southern Nuclear, and United States Steel as a Council of
Partners member.
“These dedicated companies recognize the importance of diversity in
their businesses and strive to develop multicultural organizations,”
explained Carlisle. “We’re thrilled that Honda Manufacturing of Alabama
has chosen to help expand the future of many students through UA’s
diversity programs.”
“Diversity is an integral part of the success
of this University. To provide a well-rounded
education, faculty, staff and students must
interact with each other to experience
different backgrounds, races, religions
and cultures fully.”

he State of Alabama
Engineering Hall of Fame
inducted two College of Engineering
alumni during a ceremony on Feb.
15, 2003, at the Auburn University
Hotel and Dixon Conference Center.
The State of Alabama Engineering
Hall of Fame was founded by proclamation of the governor in 1987 to
honor, preserve and perpetuate the
outstanding accomplishments and
Dennis L. Baxendale
contributions of individuals, projects,
corporations and institutions that have brought and continue to bring significant recognition to the state. College of Engineering alumni inducted
were Dennis L. Baxendale and Leroy McAbee.
Dennis L. Baxendale (B.S.Ch.E. ’66), president and CEO of ELTECH
Systems Corp., began his career in chemical engineering as a process engineer at Diamond Shamrock’s chlorine plant in Mobile. The University of
Alabama graduate held many executive and management positions at the
company and was a “charter member” of the upper management team of
Diamond Shamrock’s divestiture unit, which became ELTECH. Baxendale
continues to have strong links to his alma mater—he was recognized as a
Distinguished Engineering Fellow in 2000 and as a Chemical Engineering
Fellow in 1999.
Leroy McAbee (B.S.M.E. ’62)
formed McAbee & Company in 1963
and it has grown into one of the most
respected construction and engineering firms in the region. The firm’s
employment practices have earned a
National Society of Professional
Engineers commendation, and the
firm’s accident reporting is 80 percent below average. McAbee has
been honored as a UA Distinguished
Engineering Fellow in 1988 and the
Leroy McAbee
Tuscaloosa County Citizen of the
Year and has earned Scouting’s Silver Beaver Award and a presidential
appointment to the U.S. Selective Service Board.
Nominations are being accepted for the 2005 State of Alabama
Engineering Hall of Fame. Nomination forms are available at
http://aehof.eng.ua.edu and are due by July 1, 2004.
n 1995 the College of Engineering began an annual tradition of recognizing alumni who have put forth exceptional effort to promote and
support the College as its Outstanding Alumni Volunteer. This year’s honoree is Vincent P. Caruso.
Caruso has exhibited dedication to the College of Engineering as well
as to the engineering profession and his community. He has served the
College for many years on the board of the Capstone Engineering Society
and was an active and loyal supporter for many years prior to this service.
Caruso wanted to support students, so he established an endowed scholarship that will provide perpetual financial support. He also has been supportive of many other scholarships through the College.
For almost half a century, Caruso contributed to the fields of industrial
and aerospace engineering. He received his bachelor’s degree in industrial
engineering from Alabama in 1951 and started a career with Standard
Casket Manufacturing in Birmingham. He then went on to spend 35 years
with NASA and the Boeing Co., focusing on space vehicle manufacturing,
assembly, and test and launch operations. He has worked on many projects, including the Saturn, Apollo, Skylab and space shuttle programs.
He retired from NASA in 1987 and from Boeing in 1998. Along the way
he received many top awards for his work. Among his honors is the Silver
Snoopy Award given annually by NASA to the top one percent of their
workforce. He also won NASA’s Exceptional Service Medal and was recognized in the 105th Congressional Record for outstanding professional and
civic service.
Caruso was honored as this year’s Outstanding Alumni Volunteer at the
College’s Distinguished Engineering Fellows banquet in March. Previous
winners of the award include F. William Keith Jr., Susanna Tomlinson, Tom
Patterson, Charles “Pap” Long, John Phillip Duke, Mike O’Brien, Dan
Turner and Leroy McAbee.

CONTEST FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
COLLEGE ANNOUNCES NEW DOTHAN AREA
STUDENT RECRUITING AND ADVISING
T
M
his spring the Capstone
Engineering Society held a
“Contest for Scholarships” and
encouraged alumni to make contributions to CES and recruit new members. Points were awarded to those
who participated during the contest
period from February 1 through April
30. Several alumni participated and
CES members Charles York of Dothan
and Tom Terrell of Mobile tied for
Charles York
the win. This fall, the two will have
scholarships awarded in their names
to deserving engineering students who have a financial need.
York said he was happy to be a contest winner and feels strongly that
scholarship support is critical to the
quality of our engineering student
population. “Anytime a student can
get a little relief from the financial
pressure of getting an education, it is
well worth it,” commented York.
“The engineering curriculum is fairly
demanding; I hope that my scholarship recipient will be able to worry a
little more about the classroom and
a little less about the cost of being in
the classroom.”
Tom Terrell
Terrell agrees and looks forward
to corresponding with his engineering
scholarship recipient during the year. “I would like to meet the recipient of
my award and stay in touch through his or her time at UA,” Terrell said.
“You never know what will make a difference in someone’s life. I hope that
in some way this bit of financial support will instill confidence in this student and make their experience better, richer, and, in the end, help create
an excellent engineer.”
The $1,500 scholarships are for one year only and will be presented to
students who have exhibited solid academic ability but also have a financial
need. If you have an interest in providing financial support for engineering
students, please contact the College’s director of advancement, Karen
Baldwin, at 1-800-333-8156.
Thanks to all who participated in the contest!

TRUCK WITH PROTOTYPE FUEL-CELL AUXILIARY
POWER UNIT VISITED UA CAMPUS
A heavy-duty highway tractor truck equipped with a first-of-itskind fuel-cell auxiliary power unit (APU), which is designed to
reduce diesel fuel consumption and emissions, made a stop at the
College of Engineering. Researchers at UA’s Center for Advanced
Vehicle Technologies have been directly involved with the development of the truck-mounted device.
The Freightliner Class 8 Sleeper Cab truck is equipped with a
fuel-cell APU, which generates power for the truck’s onboard electronics and appliances. The APU has the potential to substantially
reduce fuel usage, vehicle emissions and maintenance costs by
more efficiently and cleanly meeting power needs. This prototype
APU recently was awarded the Automotive Engineering
International Tech 2003 Award for being one of the top technologies on display at the Society of Automotive Engineers’ World
Congress in Detroit, Mich.
UA’s Center for Advanced Vehicle Technologies supports the
fuel-cell APU partnership by providing noise and vibration analysis
and system modeling capabilities.

UA RESEARCHERS DEVELOP NEW METHOD TO
STABILIZE OLDER BUILDINGS
Dr. Andrew Graettinger, assistant professor of civil and environmental
engineering, and Dr. Philip Johnson, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, have developed a method of drilling long, straight,
small holes in typical building materials without compromising the strength
of the structure. This new method will be used for building stabilization,
especially in areas that are considered earthquake zones.
Masonry structures can withstand tremendous vertical loads, but
problems arise when the structure moves horizontally as happens during
an earthquake. Steel reinforcing bars inserted vertically and horizontally
through the walls can stabilize the structure, but conventional drilling
equipment cannot be controlled well enough to drill holes into an
existing wall.
Graettinger and Johnson developed a new waterjet drill that makes long
holes which are smaller and straighter than any other current drill. The
waterjet is also portable, making it easy to bring to and move around the
work site. They modified a pressure washer to incorporate grit into its
water stream. The mixture of water, polymer and grit shoots out of a 1/4inch drill rod that is connected to an abrasive injection system and 5,000psi pressure washer. At 545 miles per hour, the mixture sands and washes
away almost any material including steel, concrete and brick.
The holes can be used for the insertion of stabilizing bars to tie a structure together internally to resist shaking. This new method could preserve
historical structures and save thousands of dollars in construction costs.

UA COMPUTER SCIENTISTS DEVELOP NEW LAW
ENFORCEMENT SEARCH ENGINE
CHE PROFESSOR RECEIVES NSF
CAREER AWARD
The National Science Foundation has awarded Dr. Tonya Klein, a
Reichhold-Shumaker Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering, with a
CAREER Award, NSF’s most prestigious award for top performing scientists
and engineers early in their careers. Klein has been awarded a five-year,
$570,000 grant to further explore ways of producing smaller and less
expensive computer chips.
The award is courtesy of NSF’s Faculty Early Career Development
Program (CAREER). NSF established CAREER in 1995 to help top performers early in their careers to develop simultaneously their contributions and commitment to research and to education. According to the NSF
website, CAREER supports the activities of those teacher-scholars who are
“most likely to become the academic leaders of the 21st century.” CAREER
awardees are selected on the basis of creative, career-development plans
that effectively integrate research and education within the context of the
mission of their institution.
Klein will investigate “atomic layer deposition.” This is a method for
depositing thin films—only several molecules thick—one atomic layer at
a time, as a process for forming materials used in electronic and magnetic
devices, including computer chips.
Arrests, routine traffic stops and other daily law enforcement duties
can be dangerous for police officers, but now they are becoming a little
safer, faster and more accurate thanks to a new system developed by UA
computer scientists.
The Law Enforcement Tactical System, or LETS, is a secure, Web-based
search engine that allows law enforcement and criminal justice agencies to
search numerous databases simultaneously, returning information in real
time while it facilitates in-depth searches. Those searches can be done by
person or vehicle characteristics. The system was developed by UA’s CARE
Research & Development Laboratory (CRDL) in 2002 and has grown rapidly.
“Officers in the field can find out who is driving a car they are following and can make a positive identification of people who do not have a driver’s license in their possession,” explained Dr. David Brown, computer
science professor and director of development of the CRDL.
LETS also can check warrants and protection orders. Officers on the
side of the road can gain access to these databases without having to radio
the information to a dispatcher, who would then input it into one database
at a time.
Brown works with Dr. Allen Parrish, associate professor of computer
science and director of the CRDL, and Dr. Brandon Dixon, assistant professor of computer science, on the growing LETS project. Currently, there are
about 3,000 users of the system, and an average of one database a month
is being added.
The UA team is working with several agencies throughout the state to
continue the development and implementation of LETS, including the
Alabama Office of Law Enforcement Systems Integration and Standards,
Department of Public Safety, Administrative Office of Courts, Office of the
Attorney General, and the Department of Economic and Community Affairs.
Direct financial support has come from the Southwest Alabama Integrated
Criminal Justice System.

a bachelor’s degree in textile engineering in 1948 and he earned his J.D.
from Emory University in 1951. He worked for the city of Atlanta’s legal
department for 25 years, serving as city attorney for five years. He retired
from the city in 1980 and pursued private practice. Although he did not
finish his degree at the Capstone, Mathews was a longtime friend and
supporter of the College of Engineering.

degree in civil engineering in 1950 from The University of Alabama. He
worked as a civil engineer for the Alabama Highway Department before
joining the Texas Highway Department.
Ledbetter joined the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin in
1956, where he earned his master’s degree in sanitary engineering in 1958
and a Ph.D. in civil engineering in 1963. In 1993, he retired as professor
emeritus in civil engineering, after having served as assistant chairman of
the department, graduate adviser of environmental health engineering, and
undergraduate adviser. At one time, Ledbetter’s former students headed
each of the major state agencies in charge of various aspects of environmental regulation in Texas, and students he educated have taught
air-pollution engineering around the world.
Ledbetter and his wife, Ann, established an annual scholarship fund
for civil engineering in 1998.

Engineering Student Services
ESS PROVIDES ASSISTANCE FOR COE STUDENTS AND ALUMNI
H
elping students get the required classes to graduate, counseling freshman and transfer students, providing scholarships, maintaining student
records, and helping find the first job are just a few ways the Office of
Engineering Student Services (ESS) serves the College.
Many of the College’s programs operate through the ESS including the
Multicultural Engineering Program, student recruitment, the Freshman
Experience, career services and the Cooperative Education Program. For
general information about ESS, contact Greg Singleton.
Student Recruitment
One of the College’s main goals is to increase enrollment to 2,010 by the
year 2010, and the office of student recruitment is taking on this challenge
with full force. A few student recruitment programs include E-Day, the
College’s annual open house for high-school students, hosting corporate
recruitment receptions and coordinating the Student Introduction to
Engineering Program (SITE) each summer.
E-Day will be held on Thursday, Oct. 2, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
and will give prospective students a closer look at the College. Laboratory
tours and exhibits will be offered through all departments, and engineering
students and faculty will be available to answer questions throughout the day.
Each summer, the College hosts SITE, which is a week-long residential
program for high-school juniors and seniors who have an interest in engineering and computer science. SITE students live in residence halls, tour a
plant to see engineers at work and engage in teaming exercises. They attend
mini-courses in math, engineering, computer science and English and take
part in a design competition. The College is planning for SITE 2004 and
expects three week-long programs in July.
For more information about student recruitment programs, contact
Alicia King.
MEP services include pre-college counseling; enrollment counseling; tutorial
assistance and counseling for enrolled students; assistance with the
Cooperative Education Program; internship programs; job placement services;
and co-coordinating SITE each summer.
For more information about the MEP, contact Miranda Carlisle.
Career Services and the Cooperative Education Program
Engineering career services and the Cooperative Education Program have
the daunting task of matching a company’s engineering personnel needs with
outstanding candidates, but these two departments excel in getting UA engineering and computer science students cooperative experiences and their first
jobs. The Cooperative Education Program has 95 students placed with companies throughout the country this fall. In spring 2003, engineering career services helped about 2,400 students—from reviewing résumés to counseling
with mock interviews and career seminars.
If your company would like more information about the UA Cooperative
Education Program, contact Roy Gregg.
Engineering career services also provides assistance to alumni who have
found themselves back in the job market. Alumni can register with the online
job database and work with career services to have a résumé reviewed.
If your company would like to
recruit UA engineering students for
employment opportunities, contact
Angelia Knight Adams.
Multicultural Engineering Program
The College’s Multicultural Engineering Program (MEP) assists minority
students who want to pursue careers in engineering or computer science.
Inset: The College hosted three Student Introduction
to Engineering Programs (SITE) during July 2003.
Right: Students enjoy a NASA moonbuggy
experience during E-Day 2002.
