ISU history made with weekend win

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com As the ball rocketed to the floor for match point, players screamed, fans stormed onto the court and the ISU volleyball to-do list became a little shorter. “We have our list of things we’ve never done before, and that was one of them — we’ve never beat Nebraska at home,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “So it’s nice to check that off.” No. 25 Iowa State defeated No. 1 Nebraska 3-1 (25-23, 25-22, 20-25, 25-21) Saturday to cross off a second feat — the victory was the program’s first-ever against a top-ranked team. The Cyclones (6-4) got off to a quick start winning the first two sets 25-23, 25-22 to set up the opportunity for a sweep. Nebraska (8-1) played at its best in the third set to

Job placements soars Aerospace ranked first in graduates hired

A rising student population and a record size freshman class all compound into a squeeze of available oncampus living area. Because of the limited space, the Department of Residence has decided to add on seven additional apartment buildings at Frederiksen Court. Each building will contain 24 units giving the university an additional 672 beds. The apartment buildings are to be situated around the perimeter of Frederiksen Court; three will be on the north side of the complex, one on the west side and three more on the south side. “We are over 100 percent full; it is a burden on our current facilities and

Iowa State has been named one of the premier engineering schools in the nation, according to Aerospace Week and Space Technology Magazine. This publication has deemed Iowa State the No. 1 school in regards to the number of graduates hired in the aerospace and defense industry. An achievement of such caliber places Iowa State’s aerospace engineering department in the same conversation as prestigious schools such as Cal Tech and MIT. What sets Iowa State apart from these schools, however, is “places like Cal Tech and MIT turn out some very high quality students, but they don’t turn out very many students,” said Richard Wlezien, professor and

department chairman of the aerospace engineering program. “I teach a freshman class, Introduction to Aerospace Design, and it’s based on the MIT course. When MIT teaches the class, they teach it to 35 students; when I teach the class, I teach it to 230 students.” Wlezien said Iowa State is not only up to par with the quality of students it produces but is also exceptional in terms of quantity. Given the readiness of graduates for the real world and the promising future of job availability in the aerospace and defense field, this level of success appears to be sustainable. “There are jobs in aerospace engineering, and it doesn’t mean that everyone has to be in aerospace engineer-

ing,” Wlezien said. “There are other fields that the aerospace companies hire. The challenge aerospace companies have right now is their workforce is aging, and they’re looking to replace those people, so there are opportunities.”
