Dr. James Zhang was chosen to be the successor for Dr. Robert Simpson in March of 2014, and since that announcement, Dr. Zhang has been work-ing with Dr. Simpson before assuming the role. At this reception, both faculty and students (totaling around 120) joined together during lunch to listen to what President McMahan and Dr. Zhang had to address to the faculty and students.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT

By Chaz MancinoStaff Writer

The current Pony Car War has mainly been fought by the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, as the Dodge Challenger has been the big boy of the group and has, up until this point, been the slowest pony car on the block.

Introducing the 2015 Dodge Challenger srt Hellcat, which is powered by a 707-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8. To put it into per-spective, the engine creates 45 more horsepower than the last Ford Mustang Shelby gt500, 127 more than the Chevrolet Camaro zli, and 67 more than the current Viper.

KSG BudgetIt's your money,

but how is it used?

By Kaitlin SoloveyAssistant Editor

Students may have noticed the new sculpture in the parking lot of Campus Center this past winter. The sculpture appeared over b-section, December 13, 2013, so most a-section students came back to campus surprised to see the new addition to cam-pus. The sculpture was recently featured at the an-nual homecoming event this past May, and the artist came to say a few words about it. After hearing his explanation of the piece, it seems perfect for Ketter-ing.

The artist, Michael Dunbar, is a fan of many auto-motive designers of the ‘50s and ‘60s, such as Ray-mond Loewy, designer of the 1963 Studebaker Avan-ti, Malcolm Sayer, designer of the 1961 Porsche 911, and the designers of the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray.

BSBA Program Changes

By Erin BoyseOnline Editor

The Business Department currently has two Ma-jor programs; the bsba (Bachelor of Science in Business Administration) and the bba (Bachelor of Business Administration). The bba was added in 2008 alongside the mba program as a way to bring in a wider array of students. With the restructuring of the Business program, the only difference that re-mained between the two degrees was a few classes. The decision was made to only keep one degree that centered on Kettering being a stem institution. To be more competitive with other universities, the bsba program was modified slightly and the bba degree is no longer offered to incoming freshmen. Upperclassmen going towards a bba will still be able to finish out the program under the old curriculum.

The new bsba program includes new classes and a restructuring of when those classes should be tak-en. Fundamental skills are being added early on to ensure success in a student’s co-op and future aca-demic career. There are also more integrated classes throughout the curriculum.

Another important change is the addition of a cumulative experience, as there is currently no cap-stone class offered. The cumulative experience will be made up of three labs taken during junior and se-nior years. One of the labs requires students to solve small-business problems through a partnering com-pany. This focuses on the Community Vitality pillar of success and demonstrates how the new program fits with True Kettering.

These changes will give Kettering Business stu-dents even more of a competitive edge upon gradu-ation.

Academic Building RenovationsBy Erin BoyseOnline Editor

The new Biology Labs are rather eye-catching as one walks to the Library. The outside walls are painted shades of green, and the inside is now com-plete. The setup of the labs is designed to promote collaboration and encourage students to work to-gether. New technology is utilized with the installa-tion of interactive whiteboards, similar to the one in bj’s Lounge, in all three labs.

The Biology Labs are located where the previously vacant chemistry labs used to be. The square block located in front of the Library now houses micro-biology, molecular biology, and advanced biology labs; as well as a walk-in cooler, clean room, and dedicated research space for faculty. This new space opened in April for the Spring term and allowed

the Biology students to move from their temporary location in the Mott Building over to the new lab areas.

This renovated space is bringing new life and in-terest to this part of the building. The inset windows draw attention into the labs, and the wood accents and bright colors add warmth and visual appeal. Planned display cases will also increase the whole look of the space. The booths on either side of the block are created for students to have more spaces to study or visit while waiting for classes.

The large open area in front of the Physics 1 Lab known commonly as the Cribathon Lounge or Physics 1 Lounge has been divided into 3 separate rooms. The vending machines at the far end stayed where they were, and the open “lounge” area still ex-ists, just with one quarter of the size. The old couch-es and tables are gone, replaced with a few new tall tables and chairs.

To the right of that has been turned into a women’s bathroom due to its location near the new Biology Labs and the fact that the nearest women’s restroom was previously rather far away.

The area next to the library has been renovated into an open conference room for anyone to use. This room does not belong to any one department, and is available for use by study groups, seminars, conferences, or just a quiet place to do homework. The glass walls and doors make it possible for any-one walking by to see if the room is in use, and the absence of locks invites student to utilize the room.

The rolling tables and chairs, along with the inter-active whiteboard, allow the room to be multifunc-tional depending on what it is being used for.

The Physics 1 Lab next to the Library has moved to the top of the ramp for classes this Spring. The current space is going to be used for future expan-sions of the Biology, Chemistry, and Biochemistry departments. The new lab will have a more efficient arrangement of workstations, allowing for better collaboration. There will also be screens on both sides of the room, enabling the professor to instruct from the middle and students on both sides to see equally.

The old gym in the basement of the ab was built in the 1940’s and was used for recreation, sports, and school dances until the Rec Center was built in 1995. The space has been used for storage since then, but is currently being renovated into a competition area and work spaces for first Robotics teams. The gym will be ready for next year’s competition season, and will include a machine shop next to the gym for local teams to work on their robots. Using this as a support space for teams meets Kettering’s Com-munity Vitality pillar of success.Photos courtesy of Mr. Bryan Boyse

Continued from the front page

At the homecoming event, Dunbar said, “These were the sculptors of my formative years.” He went on to talk about how Kettering University is an “au-tomotive incubator.” He hopes that Kettering stu-dents, in formulating future engineering concepts and designs in the automotive world, will carry his sculpture, Orbits of Isaac, in their subconscious.

Orbits of Isaac is named after Isaac Newton, one of the most influential scientists of all time. It is two-and-a-half tons of bronze, measuring 11.5ft tall, 12ft wide, and 14ft long. The sculpture really is an im-pressive size, and Dr. McMahan, the President of the university, hopes that it will have a long lasting ef-fect. Shortly after its unveiling, President McMahan told Kettering Communications that “It’s a highly engineered, intricate, and beautiful sculpture that harnesses inspiration from the sciences… I believe it is going to have a very strong impact on our campus and that it will become a part of the iconography of the institution.” Being front and center in the visitor

parking lot, there is little way for Orbits of Isaac not to become a key part of the iconography of Kettering. It will be what incom-ing students see when they visit the school for the first time, and they will see it all throughout their career at Kettering. Mi-chael Dunbar’s Orbits of Isaac has certainly found a home at Kettering.

Orbits of Isaac, New Guard of Campus

By Matthew WhiteCopy Editor

Action filled. Without a dull moment. Very satisfying, person-ally.

When Dr. Robert Simpson, former Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs and Provost, was asked to reflect on his second ap-pointment at Kettering, these were the things that sprang to mind. Above all else, he hoped that he had made some small change in his four years as chief academic officer of the school.

One of the most dramatic areas of change that occurred under the guidance of Dr. Simpson was the evolution of the co-op thesis into the broadly-based Culminating Undergraduate Experience (cue), which added new options like re-search and entrepreneurship theses for students who did not fit well into the old model. Dr. Simpson is also proud of removing the thesis fee, which he and many students saw as a “get-out-of-jail” fee at the end of their undergraduate programs.

At the opposite end of the spectrum is the new First Year Experience class, which replaced the old Orientation curriculum that Dr. Simpson helped create during his time as interim provost. Dr. Simp-son says the new course much betters fits the needs of students, and has been helping retention rates—a metric that was abysmal before the program’s insti-tution. With smaller fye class sizes (15 students per class), students are more engaged and potential re-tention problems can be identified better.

Other academic changes Dr. Simpson is proud of include reinforcing basic math classes with addi-tional class time to help students who traditionally

fell behind, strengthening the peer tutor process by providing training, and moving the co-op depart-ment from Enrollment to Academics. As part of that transition, co-op now behaves more as an in-tegral part of education, with the expectation that students will reflect on their experiences when they return to school.

A limnologist himself, Dr. Simpson was very ex-cited to start the Biology program during his ten-ure—and is even envious of the students who get to participate in the dual lecture/lab setup, which is a very different kind of learning environment than the other departments offer. Although Kettering is not known for its Biology program, Dr. Simpson is confident that the new faculty and their excite-ment will eventually bring the program to a steady state of between 100 and 200 students. All the bet-ter, Dr. Simpson explained, is that biology is unique

enough from the other majors offered at Kettering that only a new category students would be attracted to them—instead of stealing students who may have gone into other programs at Kettering.

For everything Dr. Simpson has done, he insisted that this is not the end of the changes. Instead, he sees his work as the foundation of a 3-5 plan. With a stronger emphasis on faculty growth, facilities, new pro-grams, and students, Dr. Simp-son believes the school is in a good position to enable curricu-lar innovation and expand into new areas of excellence where Kettering is uniquely position to make a difference.

As Dr. Simpson ended his time at Kettering, he was joined

by Dr. James Zhang, his successor, for a month of briefings on the good, the bad, and the changes un-der way. In his retirement, Dr. Simpson admitted to having few plans. He did, however, mention plans for himself and Prof. Bell to travel to Yellowstone, a place Dr. Simpson is rather fond of, before the start of term. Prof. Bell assures The Technician that both men had a wonderful time, even if a great deal of hiking was involved.

Kettering’s average class size is smaller than most Universities—over half of our classes have 20 or fewer students. With a ratio of 4.4:1, there would be approximately 3 female students in every class of 20.

In Greek life, however, women join sororities at a fairly comparable rate to men (61% to 64%, respec-tively).

Freshmen PerspectivesJuly 28, 2014

After a week of class, The Technician stopped by Thompson Hall to talk to freshmen. Eight students gave us some insight on what brought them here and what they enjoy most about the school so far.

Each student was asked these three questions:1. How did you hear about Kettering?2. What aspects of the school made you want to

come here?3. Since coming here, what about the school do

you like the most?Here is a sampling of the students’ responses to

the questions. The answers are printed below in the order shown above.
