Four students receive award

     Senior mechanical engineering students Jason Paul Steele, Kurt Ian
Kuhn, Jeffrey Russell Blair and Matthew O. Schroeder received a $500 Bronze
Award in the undergraduate division of the James F. Lincoln Arc Welding
Foundation's 1993 pre-professional awards program.
     The University students' entry, describing an "Optic Nerve
Stimulator," was developed by the group as a senior design project. Faculty
adviser for the project was Robert Allen, assistant professor of mechanical
engineering.
     In recognition of the Bronze Award, the University also received a
$250 grant to be used to further educational objectives.
     The national program, which recognizes excellence in college-level
engineering research and design, awarded a total of $15,750 to
undergraduate and graduate students across the country.
