Another recruitment season is underway, so I've decided it's time to dust off the blogging site that I started last year, and gather together some good information that will be helpful and timely to an important population: parents of prospective Kettering students!
Kettering University is off to a great year under the leadership of our new president, Bob McMahan. Take a look at what Kettering's chairman of the board says about the president:
"Bob McMahan is an innovative thinker with a broad range of academic, business, management, fund-raising and government experiences that make him an ideal selection to be Kettering's next president. We are particularly excited about his proven abilities to engage traditional academics with science and technology-based economic development and his ability to work closely with faculty, staff and students to achieve Kettering's goals. His contributions will help our University continue its great legacy."
Welcome, President McMahan!

Test your Diamond's Validity using Laser Spectroscopy!
The following was taken from the My Kettering web page:
Dr. Bahram Roughani and Dr. Uma Ramabadran (Physics) have a Valentine’s gift for anyone who owns a diamond. Bring your diamond to 1-905 AB (the Raman Lab, near the International Office) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday, Valentine’s Day, and have the gem’s validity tested using laser spectroscopy. The free examination is non-destructive and will ID the stone as a real diamond. “This is nondestructive testing for the diamond, but maybe not so for the relationship,” joked Dr. Roughani.
I think I'll try this out!

Kettering's Green Mobility Laboratory
Here is some great information to share with your future electrical engineer!
With the auto industry increasingly focused on electric-based vehicles, Kettering University has positioned itself as one of only a few schools in the country preparing students in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) technology from an electrical engineering perspective.
After receiving grant money in 2010 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), Kettering has created an HEV Green Mobility Laboratory.

The Kettering University Advantage!
I am pleased to introduce myself as the new Director of Undergraduate Admissions at Kettering University. Ever since I first arrived on campus, I have been constantly amazed by the Kettering faculty that I meet... professors who are not only terrfic teachers and researchers, but who also take tremendous interest in their students. And talk about our students! As I meet them and listen to their stories, I'm astonished by their personal and professional accomplishments. Kettering students are thinkers, problem solvers and innovators who are truly excited about their studies and work experiences.
For those of you who are not that familiar with Kettering University, formerly GMI Management & Engineering Institute, the first thing you'll notice upon closer look is that Kettering is very different than most institutions of higher learning. The hallmark of the Kettering education is the paid co-op experience, required for every student. This typically begins in the freshman year! Students work in positions covering a full range of industries that include areas such as automobile, aerospace, banking, metallurgical, and health care. Students generally earn between $40,000 and $65,000 over the course of their program. Today there are more than 500 companies employing our students in hundreds of locations around the world. Biomet, Becton Dickinson, Whirlpool, Spectranetics, and Alcoa are just a few of the powerhouse companies partnering with Kettering.
Kettering offers majors in chemical, computer, electrical, industrial and mechanical engineering, as well as applied mathematics, applied physics, engineering physics, biochemistry, chemistry, business administration, and computer science. Concentrations and specialties include (but are not limited to) acoustics, applied optics, computer gaming, alternative energy, aerospace engineering, and healthcare system engineering.
Kettering admissions officers are ready and eager to work with high school seniors and transfer students interested in applying for admission.
Contact the Kettering Office of Admissions at (810) 762-7865 for more information or to schedule a campus visit.
Listen to some of our students!
