15. The Gene Newman Scholarship for a EFD Student Choosing M&SE Major Recipient -- Melissa Periman I saw all the wonderful and exciting things that modeling and simulation can do and I instantly fell in love. MSVE is practical and applicable to common life problems. This is one of the reasons I decided to major in it. It can be applied to every form of engineering as well as non-engineering fields. It allows us to see what would happen if we were to create something a certain way, apply stress to one area, or any number of other countless scenarios. I see MSVE as the new up-and-coming field of engineering. It is highly regarded already and is a necessity in many areas. I chose MSVE not only for its practicality but also because I find it exciting. I have never felt as much passion for something … Other 2 applicants just as strong Jarrod Cartwright Michelle Graham Applicants from EEAP and ENGN 110 Both taught this summer by Dr. Jim Leathrum. VMASC IA Scholarship

16. Textbook Donation Program Simulation with Arena Students notified Excellent publicity for VMASC IA and our department. M&S Reference Materials Less visibility to undergraduate students More visibility to graduate students Target subscriptions not available in Perry Library VMASC IA Other Support

17. Fund additional undergraduate applicants Establish sustainable scholarships Combine annual scholarship with annual endowment support Establish student research activity / lab accessible to all VMASC IA members Internships and jobs then feedback on our graduates Acknowledge / comment upon of our Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) VMASC IA Relationship
