Planning, Programming and Parking: New Building Progress

Plans for HMC’s new academic building are progressing, with the focus now on determining what will go into the facility. At the HMC Board of Trustee meeting in May, Boora Architects made presentations on the programming for the teaching and learning building to the Physical Plant and Campus Planning Committee and to the full board.

Over the summer, Boora will work on the schematic design as well as programming for the space that will be freed up in other buildings, including Sprague Library. There will be several sessions held over the summer for the campus community to provide input and feedback on the work by Boora. President Maria Klawe said, “We expect to hold the final sessions with Boora at the beginning of the fall term, and that the decision to approve the programming of the new building will be made at the September board meeting.”

Programming efforts have been made possible by a donation from Trustee Wayne Drinkward ’73, president and CEO of Hoffman Construction Company.

What will the new building house?

Nothing is finalized, but plans for the interior include highly flexible formal and informal learning spaces, ranging in size from small breakout rooms to a 300-person auditorium. Additional possibilities include faculty offices, digital labs, space to house Admission and Financial Aid and the President’s Office.

What will happen to the empty spaces created when selected departments and faculty members move to the new building?

Boora is developing a plan in connection with the new building programming, for vacated spaces. Vice President and Dean of Faculty Robert Cave said, “This type of programming is in some sense less detailed than that for the new building since a good deal of the vacated space will support faculty lab/project expansion and we do not know the needs of those folks yet. Nevertheless, this will allow us a more integrated plan for space as we move forward.”

What has been decided about parking relating to the teaching and learning building and the north property?

At the May 12 meeting of the Claremont City Council, the city’s Planning Division staff presented recommendations that included the following:

• New requirements for parking that differentiate between residential and non-residential colleges.

• Separate compliance and reporting by each college in The Claremont Colleges consortium.

• Elimination of the requirement that new parking facilities created to address a deficit be located within 800 feet of new buildings.

• A 20 percent reduction in the number of required parking spaces for each academic class that is restricted from having cars on campus. The current formula is one space for every two students, faculty and staff members. Additional spaces are required based on auditorium seating capacity at the rate of one space for every five seats.

• Two percent reductions in the number of required parking spaces for each transportation reduction measure implemented (e.g., rideshare incentive program, ZIP car program, secure bike storage and showering facilities, and other transportation demand management measures).

In a message to the community in May, Klawe said, “Based on the potential reclassification of Galileo Hall from an auditorium to instructional space after the construction of the new teaching and learning building, the use of several 2 percent transportation reduction measures and the proposed 20 percent reduction measure (discussed above), we believe it may not be necessary to develop parking facilities on the north campus property.”

The regulations must be written and approved by the city council, and the revised code is scheduled to be presented to the Planning Commission in July 2009, and submitted to the City Council in September. If approved, it will be effective 30 days later in October 2009.

“If we are not required to construct a parking lot on our north campus, the city planning process for the teaching and learning building will be different. We will be working with the city over the next several months on updating our master plan and other related projects,” said President Klawe.

Sprague Library Checking Out; Learning Studio Checking In
The Council of Presidents voted April 16 to cease Claremont University Consortium (CUC) operations in the three libraries on the Pomona, Scripps and Harvey Mudd campuses. This decision is an acceleration of the Libraries of The Claremont Colleges* planning that has been ongoing over the last several years and allows an earlier return of these buildings to their home campuses for other purposes. The Sprague Library (HMC) and the Seeley G. Mudd Library (Pomona) closed as library facilities on June 30, 2009. Denison (Scripps) will continue to be operated by CUC until June 30, 2010.

The Science Libraries contain over 16,000 linear feet of print journals, 10,000 linear feet of books and 1,000 linear feet of other material formats. Nearly all of the Sprague books will be moved to Honnold Library’s first floor, the majority of the journals will be removed, and the rest of the journals will go to a new Records Center.

William Alves, faculty member in the Department of Humanities, Social Sciences and the Arts, is the HMC representative to the intercollegiate Advisory Board for Library Planning and is advising the library of faculty needs and concerns. He reported that, with Honnold Library shelves at capacity, combined with the merging of collections, it is necessary to relocate many materials to the Records Center. The libraries are proposing to permanently withdraw certain monographs and serials (including journals, other periodicals, encyclopedias, annuals, etc.), which will be first offered to the community and then donated to a book redistributor, which will offer them to other libraries. Community members will have access to a leased off-site Records Center on 11th Street, two miles from Honnold. Materials being moved to this facility will include print journals, books that have never been used, currently inactive research areas, and some obsolete formats. Expected to open in August, the Records Center will offer browsing, delivery, digitizing and transportation to and from Honnold.

Vice President and Dean of Faculty Robert Cave said the consolidation of libraries and the removal of the library presence on the HMC campus will provide advantages to users, including extended operating hours, and will strengthen the central collection. “We’ll see some exciting new uses for Sprague,” he said.

New Opportunity for Learning
With Sprague no longer operating as a library, HMC is moving forward this summer with construction on a new Learning Studio, made possible by a $750,000 grant from The Fletcher Jones Foundation. The grant supports HMC’s recently launched educational technology infrastructure upgrade, the first phase of a multi-phase, four-year program to improve the college’s entire IT infrastructure.

In addition to supporting staff development, the gift funds a new digital learning commons that will be designed to encourage multiple forms of faculty and student interaction, and will support collaborative and cross-disciplinary learning in ways that traditional computer laboratories do not. The emphasis will be on comfort, flexibility, ergonomic workstations and high-end computing resources. The central and well-lighted first-floor space will meet many of the needs for computing at HMC. “It will provide a high-profile ‘anchor’ space in the heart of the academic end of campus, which will have a significant positive impact on teaching and learning,” said President Maria Klawe. “The Sprague family envisions this as a natural and exciting extension of the building’s use for the future of the college.” Another gift to support IT efforts came recently from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations. The $250,000 award supports the recently launched information technology (IT) upgrade. The grant will be applied to classroom technology, ensuring that students and faculty can make use of current technologies and software to enrich learning across many disciplines.

“A lifeblood of Harvey Mudd College is computing,” said Cave. “It is instrumental in our teaching, research and Clinic Program, and this grant will allow us to advance in all three areas.”

*The Libraries are made up of collections in four buildings: Honnold/Mudd Library, The Ella Strong Denison Library at Scripps College; Seeley G. Mudd Science Library at Pomona College; and The Norman F. Sprague Library at HMC.

Mathematics is Focus of Two Grants

Math for America
Harvey Mudd College received a $150,000 grant from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations in support of its participation in Math for America Los Angeles (MfA LA). MfA LA is a joint effort between the University of Southern California (USC), the Claremont Graduate University (CGU) and HMC to raise student achievement in mathematics by improving teacher quality, recruitment and retention in the Los Angeles area.

MfA LA recruits new secondary school math teachers through its fellowship program, which awards talented individuals with a full scholarship to the master’s degree and teacher credentialing program at either CGU or USC, and stipends to supplement their public school salary that ensure they are compensated comparably to other professionals with similar levels of education and training. In addition to these financial incentives, MfA LA also provides these Fellows with comprehensive professional development. In its first two years of operation, Math for America Los Angeles aims to recruit and support 36 teachers.

President Maria Klawe serves on the Board of Directors for Math for America, the umbrella organization for MfA LA. Darryl Yong, associate professor of mathematics, is on the steering committee for MfA LA and helps to design the professional development for MfA LA Fellows and other secondary school teachers in the greater Los Angeles area.

Mathematics Dept. Grant Supports Recent Ph.D.s
In 2007, Kimberly Tucker, then a Ph.D. candidate in graph theory from Johns Hopkins, joined the HMC Department of Mathematics. “To be a part of a department where there are so many outstanding teachers, remarkable researchers and generous individuals has truly been an honor,” said Tucker. “Sitting in on their classes, having conversations on teaching philosophy and research problems, and observing how they juggle all the balls that professors have before them has given me insight on what it means to be a great professor and what I want to work to achieve.”

Professors Arthur Benjamin and Michael Orrison mentored Tucker; under their guidance she has become a success as both an undergraduate research mentor and in the HMC classroom. Her postdoctoral fellowship was a pilot program funded by President Maria Klawe. Now, thanks to a five-year, $800,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), there is an opportunity to mentor more recent Ph.D.s in the mathematical sciences. Five postdoctoral fellows and their undergraduate summer research associates will be supported.

In fall 2009, Ursula Whitcher, who recently completed her Ph.D. in algebraic geometry, will join the department as the first HMC Fellow supported by the NSF and will work in tandem with Dagan Karp, assistant professor of mathematics. The fellowship focuses on the synergistic activities of teaching and research as well as connections between the two. Each fellow will spend two years at HMC, will develop their research under the guidance of a research mentor and teach an average of one course per semester in tandem with a teaching mentor. In addition, they will supervise a summer research student, advise a capstone research experience such as a Senior Thesis or one of HMC’s industrial research-based Clinics, and participate in outreach activities and other vital departmental functions.

In 2006, the American Mathematical Society recognized the department with its inaugural award for an “Exemplary Program or Achievement in a Mathematics Department,” citing the department’s leadership and innovation in undergraduate teaching, mentoring undergraduate research and outreach to the broader community. This NSF grant will enable the department to train recent Ph.D.s in these areas and, through them, continue to spread these ideas to the broader mathematical community.

Network Provider Honored for Green Solutions
The “green” innovations of D-Link Systems, Inc. were applauded during the 16th annual TechAmerica OC/IE High-Tech Awards Dinner, which spotlights technology companies and individuals in Orange County and the Inland Empire. A leading end-to-end networking solutions provider, D-Link received the 2009 Harvey Mudd College Green Engineering Award.

“To be a winner among so many outstanding technology companies in this thriving Southern California area is a testament to our commitment to do our part in helping save the Earth’s precious resources and provide consumers and businesses with the best possible solutions to meet their computer networking needs,” said Carlos Casassus Fontecilla (shown left with HMC physics Professor Richard Haskell), president of D-Link Pan America, who accepted the award.

“D-Link has led the way in designing energy-saving routers and algorithms,” said Sarah Harris, HMC assistant professor of engineering, who presented the award on behalf of the college and its engineering department. “These products are both innovative and far reaching, from large and small businesses to single users. Some of their installations boast 80 percent reductions in power consumption.”

D-Link was noted for having made a significant contribution in the area of “green” engineering or sustainability in one of several areas:

• Design and production of a specific new device, system or technology that conserves energy or natural resources, reduces the production and emission of pollutants, or reduces the organization’s carbon footprint significantly below current levels
• Adoption and implementation of new and innovative production technologies for current products that significantly improve the environment
• Support for community-based initiatives to address environmental issues related to the design, production and use of electrical and electronic technologies

Two Certificate of Merit awards were also presented to finalists in the HMC Green Engineering category: Balqon Corporation, which has designed and built zero-emission electric tractors for hauling cargo containers at the Port of Los Angeles, and EcoTek Lighting, Inc., a leader in the use of energy-efficient LEDs for lighting menus and signs. The Green Engineering Award, established in 2008, is sponsored by Stephen LaCount P07, an Irvine-based lawyer, parent of 2007 biology graduate Lauren LaCount and enthusiastic HMC supporter.

“The primary motivation in creating this award was to raise HMC’s profile in the Orange County/Inland Empire technology sectors and create a partnership with TechAmerica (formerly AeA), the largest tech industry trade association,” said LaCount. This year’s selection committee evaluated six nominations. The committee included: Sarah Harris, Richard Haskell, chair of the award selection committee, Burton Bettingen. Professor of Physics and director of the Physics Clinic; David Money Harris, associate professor of engineering and director of HMC’s Engineering Computing Facility; Robert Best ’10; HMC Trustee Raymond Grainger ’88, founder and chief executive officer, Mavenlink, LLC; Jon P. Roberts ’93/94, director of building science, CTG Energetics, Inc.; Olivier Chaine ’95, founder and chief executive officer, Magnify360; Gregg Ander, chief architect for the customer service business unit of Southern California Edison; and Don Allen, vice president of corporate communications, Incuity.

Last year’s award went to Incuity Software for their IncuityCEM software packaging that saved Rice University 22 percent of their annual energy expenditure.

Sustainability & Engineering Design

The seventh Mudd Design Workshop (MDW), “Sustaining Sustainable Design,” was held on the Harvey Mudd campus May 28–30. Supported by the Department of Engineering, this workshop brought together engineers and designers­—both educators and practitioners—to discuss how sustain-ability, including global warming and the consequent degradation of the environmental affect the work of engineering design educators.

At the opening lunch, Malcolm Lewis ’67, founder and CEO of the Constructive Technologies Group, delivered the keynote address “Sustainable Design From a Practitioner’s Perspective.” Lewis, an HMC alumnus and trustee, described some of the challenges attendant to dealing with sustainability issues as a practicing engineer.

A broad variety of engineering education issues were discussed over eight formal sessions, including: paradigmatic issues; sustaining sustainability; What are students thinking?; curricula matters; innovation; and sustainability projects and products.

In the first of two outstanding evening events, Hans van Drongelen and Renske Oldenboom of the MOTIV project at the Delft University of Technology showed a video and led an after-dinner discussion on “A Spirit of Sustainability.” The second session, “Sustaining Tradition,” honored the memory and contributions of two long-time friends of the MDW community who recently passed away, John H. McMasters (1939–2008) and Michael Wald (1932–2008).

The funding will be used to enable and encourage students and other scientists to pursue research in areas related to low dimensional topology and quantum geometry. It also supports students, speakers and organizers for the workshop, which will disseminate knowledge to a wide and diverse audience and provide the opportunity for scientists to interact and foster collaboration and new research.

Mashek Named to Critchell Professorship
Debra Mashek, assistant professor of psychology in the Department of Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts, was selected as the Critchell Assistant Professor, commencing July 1. The Critchell Professorship is awarded to a junior professor as a way of recognizing faculty who, in the early stages of their careers, have exhibited an unusual talent for mentoring and counseling students in all aspects of their lives. Karl Haushalter, assistant professor of chemistry, was the Critchell Professor from 2007-2009.

Game on for Sweedyk
The National Science Foundation has awarded a grant of $149,784 to HMC for support of the project “CS Education: Computer Game Course, Curriculum and Gender?”, under the direction of Associate Professor of Computer Science Elizabeth “Z” Sweedyk.

The proposal extends work Sweedyk has been doing on gender, gaming and computer sciences. She said, “Two major but largely disparate themes in this work are women and games. This proposal is aimed at the intersection of these efforts. It seeks to answer the following question: When it comes to CS education, can we have our games and women too?”

The grant is part of the NSF’s Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement program.

ANNUAL CONTEST RESULTS
HMC Runs Circles Around MCM Competition
The HMC team of Aaron Abromowitz ’09 (mathematics), Andrea Levy ’11 (mathematics) and Russell Melick ’11 (computer science) was named an Outstanding Winner (earned by only 13 teams out of 2,049 entries worldwide—1 percent of participants) and won the Mathematical Association of America Award prize (granted for exceptional writing). The report from the Outstanding team will be published in the Journal of Undergraduate Mathematics and its Applications in 2010.

Also in the MCM, three HMC teams earned the designation Meritorious (top 19 percent), and one earned Honorable Mention (top 37 percent).

The Outstanding team and two of HMC’s Meritorious teams answered MCM’s Problem A, offered here for your solving pleasure:

Danny Solow of Case Western Reserve University, authored Problem A, “Designing a Traffic Circle.” He noted that many cities have traffic circles, from large ones with many lanes in the circle (such as at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the Victory Monument in Bangkok) to small ones with one or two lanes in the circle. Some of these traffic circles have a stop sign or a yield sign on every incoming road that gives priority to traffic already in the circle; some have a yield sign in the circle at each incoming road that gives priority to incoming traffic; and some have a traffic light on each incoming road (with no right turn allowed on a red light). The goal of the problem is to use a model to determine how best to control traffic flow in, around and out of a circle, clearly stating the objective(s) used in the model and summarizing the conditions under which each type of traffic-control method should be used.

Putnam Team Places 11th
Forty-five HMC students competed in the December 2008, competition, which hosted more than 3,600 competitors from across the nation. Ted Spaide ’09, Palmer Mebane ’12 and Jacob Scott ’11 represented HMC in the team category and placed 11th out of 545 colleges and universities. In the individual category, nine HMC students placed in the Top 500. Only eight other schools could claim more students in the Top 500. Receiving the RIF Prize, which honors the top Mudd finishers, are Palmer Mebane ’12 (Top 100 List); Ted Spaide ’09 (Top 200 List) and Jackson Newhouse ’12 (Top 200 List). Steven Ehrlich ’09, Jennifer Iglesias ’12, Daniel Moore ’10, Aaron Pribadi ’12, Jacob Scott ’11 and Ethan Sokol ’10 made the Top 500 List. Below are a few problems they worked on. See if you can solve each one within one hour (participants must solve six problems in six hours). (Courtesy of tech-archive.net.)

Problem A2
Alan and Barbara play a game in which they take turns filling entries of an initially empty 2008 x 2008 array. Alan plays first. At each turn, a player chooses a real number and places it in a vacant entry. The game ends when all the entries are filled. Alan wins if the determinant of the resulting matrix is nonzero; Barbara wins if it is zero. Which player has a winning strategy?

Problem B1
What is the maximum number of rational points that can lie on a circle in R2 whose center is not a rational point? (A “rational point” is a point both of whose coordinates are rational numbers.)

Problem B3
What is the largest possible radius of a circle contained in a 4-dimensional hypercube of side length 1?

Senior Award Highlights

Fulbright scholarship for study in Singapore
Lauryn Baranowski ’09, engineering
Hometown: Selah, Wash.
Two-part Project: Baranowski will perform a research project with Timothy White, head of the Division of Materials Science at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University, which will focus on an affordable titanium dioxide material used to remove organic pollutants from water. Then, she will explore the need for and generation of clean water on a broader level through volunteer work with Singapore-based organization Lien Foundation, which works with students from Nanyang University to design water sanitation solutions for rural communities in neighboring countries.

Global impact: “This project is of special importance to me and to the scientific and world communities because water is one of our most precious resources,” said Baranowski. “Over a billion people in the world lack access to clean water, and over half of those people live in Asia.”

Goal: A Ph.D. in materials science and engineering at Northwestern University following her Fulbright year. “My engineering knowledge and research experience are powerful resources, and I believe that it is important for me to use these resources in the best way I can.”

Thomas J. Watson Fellowship
Brandon Horn ’09, physics
Hometown: Ocala, Fla.
Winning Project: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star: How We Wonder What You Are

Global impact: “I will see how our cultural and scientific backgrounds influence our perceptions of the cosmos. I will use telescopes to bridge cultural divides and learn about people’s traditional cosmologies, while allowing the people I meet a glimpse of the universe I know and love.

Goal: A Ph.D. in astrophysics after his Watson year. “I want to inspire the next generation of scientists, just as Carl Sagan
inspired me, and I feel that taking a year to see what astronomy
means to people around the world will allow me to reach more people more effectively.”

Originality Key to Robotics Win
Instead of using off-the-shelf software like the other teams, the HMC team developed their own image-processing routines for an iRobot-based platform and received first place at the Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing in Portland, Ore., in April. An HMC team also placed first in 2007.

Rebecca Green ’11, Kate Burgers ’11 and Sabreen Lakhani ’11 bested six teams with a platform that they designed last summer as part of a Baker Foundation-funded summer project. The contest challenged system designers to create an autonomous agent that, working in an unknown environment, could find distinctly colored landmarks then return back to the starting position.

Chung to SURF this Summer
Andrew Chung ’10, a finalist and $25,000-winner in the “Jeopardy!” 2008 College Championship, is one of 12 U.S. undergraduates selected for the 2009 American Chemical Society Division of Organic Chemistry Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF). He will work in the lab of Assistant Professor of Chemistry David Vosburg this summer and will visit an industrial campus in the fall for an award session, scientific talks, a tour and a poster session, where the results of the summer research will be presented.

Two Named Robert Day Scholars
Jonathan Simkin ’09 and Christopher Strieter ’09 have been named Robert Day Scholars for 2009-10, and are among the second group of students entering the Masters Program in Finance at the recently established Robert Day School of Economics and Finance at Claremont McKenna College.

Zhu Wins Borg Scholarship
In April, Xuexin (Alice) Zhu ’10 was named one of 20 recipients of the 2009 Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship, a $10,000 award.

Zhu said, “I love problem solving and games. Once I started taking computer science courses, I realized that CS involves solving extremely interesting problems, and this is exactly what intrigues me. Watching and playing computer games also developed my interest in programming and design. I hope that one day I can contribute to the development of a game that I also love to play.”

Swimmers Score at NCAA Championships
Jenni Rinker ’11 was a member of five relay teams that set Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (CMS)and Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) records at the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III Swimming and Diving Championships at Macalester College at the University of Minnesota in March. Finishing in sixth place, the team claimed the highest finish in CMS history and the best finish by a SCIAC team since 1987. Three individuals and two relays earned All-American honors at the four-day meet.

Rinker earned All-American status in the 200-yard medley relay and 400-yard medley relay, and Honorable Mention All-American status in the 200-yard and 800-yard freestyle relays. The CMS Athenas placed 6th as a team. Vincent Pai ’12 was an Honorable Mention All-American in two events at the Division III Championships, and was named the SCIAC Athlete of the Week for March 16-22. Pai dominated the consolation final in the 200-yard breaststroke and finished ninth overall at the championships. He had the second-fastest time in the meet and won his race by 1.85 seconds. His time of 1:59.90 broke the CMS and SCIAC record set by a former NCAA champion by more than one second. He also finished 16th in the 100-yard breaststroke after qualifying with a personal best time of 56.45 (second-fastest in SCIAC history).
