Websites

American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is a student organization website that launched October 1, 2012. The new site features the organization’s mission: “providing students with a connection to the engineering profession outside the classroom” by highlighting the various events and activities with the Concrete Canoe, Steel Bridge, and Geo-Challenge projects.

Cornerstone & Residential Experience (CoRe), formerly known as Engineering Residential Experience (ERE), launched a new website on September 26, 2012. The new homepage has a large photo feature, a Twitter feed, as well as College News and Events feeds. The site also highlights the new CoRe video and has a full media section with past newsletters and links to the YouTube and Flickr Galleries. Check it out!

The College of Engineering launched a new website on October 6, 2012. The new site features rotating photo banners, news feeds, and videos on the homepage, as well as on the Research landing page. The new site also has social media sharing, mobile QR codes, and a robust faculty and staff directory. Check it out!

The Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering Water website is a clone of the new BAE site, featuring water quality, irrigation and the management and energy usage of irrigation systems in Michigan. Similar to the main BAE site, the BAE Water site has a rotating slideshow on the home page, featuring four different types of water management systems. The site also has a news and events section that is easily populated by the individual users.

The Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering department website was recently converted from a standard HTML site to a Drupal Content Management System (CMS) website, and designed with the MSU branding standards in mind. 

The new site features a rotating slideshow on the home page, as well as sections for news, quick links and two events calendars. One calendar is specifically for BAE department events only, and the other is tied to the College of Engineering calendar, pulling related department events via an RSS feed.  The site is also tied to the Engineering Faculty and Staff directory, which allows the department to add or make changes to the profiles, while updating both the Engineering and BAE department listings at the same time.

Green Survey Certification is an MSU authenticated website featuring 6 web form surveys for MSU faculty, staff and students to login and complete, in order to declare that their work or living areas are "Green Certified." The certifications areas include, campus living for floors, information technology spaces, kitchens, offices, science laboratories and a "Student Green Pledge" encouraging students to commit to conserving energy and water, reducing landfill waste and educating others to do the same.  This site was launched in October 2011.

DECS worked with the Honors College / NIFS staff to design and build a new site, replacing their former HTML site with Drupal, a content management system. The new site has the current MSU branding standards, a large photo feature from the latest university scholarship recognition dinner, a recent award winners listing, popular FAQs, and news. The home page also highlights upcoming events, which pulls from an extensive list of fellowship and scholarship campus deadlines. This site was launched at the end of October 2011.

EngineeringExamples.org was built as a basic HTML site for the purpose of "enhancing diversity in the undergraduate mechanical engineering population through curriculum changes." The site features various published results, conference presentations and books on real life examples in mechanics of solids, dynamics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. The site is linked to MSU's CASHNet payment system for purchases of the Real Life Examples books.  This site was launched in May 2011.

MSU's Executive Committee on Academic Governance chartered an ad hoc committee with investigating the potential for the university to establish a University Research Organization (URO). With the guidance of the College of Engineering Associate Dean for Research, DECS developed the MSU authenticated website, providing the committee's fulfillment of its role in making extensive information (executive summary, reports, minutes, FAQs, and policies from other universities) available to all campus faculty.  The site was launched December 14, 2011.

The Whitehead Lab website was built to highlight Tim Whitehead's research in functional proteins and development of computational and experimental tools, and their applications. The site features in depth details of the research projects, latest news, lab members, and recent publications.  The site was launched at the beginning of September 2011.
