Our Member of the Week is our Digital Relations Chair Francine Rosinski!

Francine is a 2nd-year environmental engineering student apart of the WERC team. Francine likes enterprise because she gains skills used in industry and learns new things (like the copper smelting process-which the WERC team studied heavily for their project this year).

Outside of enterprise, Francine is the vice president for the Keweenaw Youth for Climate Action and loves to go hiking and skiing!

Joe is a 2nd-year environmental engineering student apart of the EPA Rainworks Challenge. Joe likes enterprise because he loves how it pertains to the area of expertise that he would like to go into. He is able to learn valuable information about his future career while also creating a wonderful project that could possibly be put into effect.

Aside from BWE, Joe is also the Month-Long Statue Chair for Blue Key Honor Society and is always staying busy with work to do!

A very big congratulations to our WERC team for pl

A very big congratulations to our WERC team for placing 1st overall in their task for the bench scale demonstration, 2nd overall in their task and 2nd overall in the competition for the flash talks! We are very proud of you and thank you for representing Michigan Tech well for our first time competing in this competition!

Our WERC team has had a great time so far at the WERC Environmental Design competition in New Mexico and has gained valuable knowledge they can’t wait to apply in the future. We are very grateful for all the great feedback and connections we have made with the judges and fellow students!

Our Member of the Week is Jake McDowell!

Jake is a 3rd-year environmental engineering major on the WERC team! Jake says, "BWE is an amazing atmosphere to be around, we are a smaller enterprise so everyone knows each other and supports what project you are working on. Specifically, I enjoy working on the WERC competition because we are the first team to compete from BWE and we can really make this project our own, and we get to travel to New Mexico! Lastly, BWE allows you to grow leaps and bounds within your major, whether that experience in the lab or sharpening your report writing skills,"

Outside of BWE, Jake is a member of the Beta Sigma Theta fraternity, Order of Omega, and the Interfraternity Council.

Our WERC team is excited to be traveling to New Me

Our WERC team is excited to be traveling to New Mexico this weekend to compete in the WERC Environmental Design Competition run through New Mexico State University. They have been researching finding a value added use for copper slag. Special thanks to NMSU and to Freeport-McMoRan for sponsoring the team’s task. Good luck to the team!

The Runway Safety team has been finishing up their prototype for a new system for airports to report runway conditions to pilots. Their designs feature weather symbology, text, and audio readout options🛬

Member of the Week: Bekah Helman

Bekah is from L’Anse, MI, and is majoring in Engineering Management. She is also the Digital Relations Chair for BWE. She is a part of the Runway Incursions team that is working on a grant to implement a nonstandard runway marking which includes surveying aviation professionals about runway incursions. “The Enterprise Program has really stretched my scope of Civil Engineering. Working on the Next Step grant has taught me valuable skills that I wouldn’t have gotten in a classroom, and they’re applicable to a career in the future. My team has been amazing to work with.”

The Make it Rain team is participating in the EPA

The Make it Rain team is participating in the EPA Rainworks Challenge. The team has been working on green infrastructure to add to Houghton High School‘s campus to manage storm water and snowmelt. Their design includes a retention pond, bioswales, and planters. Their research has ranged from green infrastructure design, cost/funding, plant research, and more. Not only will it have these features, but the design will also contain an educational aspect for students.🌱
