| THE
RIGHT FIGHT: Environmental Engineering
grad student Hirokazu Hiraiwa was written up in The Berkeleyan,
The Chronicle, and The Oakland Tribune after winning the national
contest for a new Cal Marching Band fight song last September. Hiraiwa's
song is called "California Triumph." |

| OPEN
THE GATES: Bill Gates, chairman
and chief software architect of Microsoft, spoke with Dean Newton
in a conversation at Zellerbach Hall last October. The event drew
an audience of nearly 1,500 people, consisting primarily of UC
Berkeley students from the College of Engineering and the rest
of campus, as well as a number of engineering faculty. |

IT: The official groundbreaking on
October 29 marked the first milestone in construction of the new
Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
(CITRIS) headquarters. |

| BAY
BRIDGE BRAINS: From left to right,
economics junior David Wood, ME junior Jimmy Quintana, CEE sophomore
Kelsey Bulkin, and CEE junior Kyle Delwiche hold a bridge model.
In teams, the E36 students tackled a messy mess: the east span of
the Bay Bridge. The students designed, modeled and tested their
own solutions. |

Artists in Resonance. |

| BOWLED
OVER: The pins are
human sized, there's no lane, and what about the bowling ball? That's
you! ME junior May Chu had what it takes to "bowl" a strike in the
Human Bowling game on the first day of Engineering Week in April.
Her fearless approach, linebacker tackle, and flailing arms knocked
over every pin, drawing cheers from onlookers. |

| NERD
CONTEST: In front of a crowd of
fellow engineers gathered for the Engineering Week event, contestants
demonstrated their calculators, discussed scientific principles,
showed off backpacks stuffed with books, tried out awkward pick-up
lines, and generally whined their way into the audience's favor.
They even danced. In the end, judges awarded EECS freshman Colin
Jeanne "Best Nerd." |

| CULTURAL
IMMERSION: First-year environmental
engineering and public policy graduate student Eleanor Kane poses
with children from the Mali village where she served almost two
years as a Peace Corps volunteer. While she was there, Kane painted
a world map on the outer wall of the village school, disinfected
wells using chlorine, and helped improve drainage for bath water. |
