11. MSCI 410 - Scientific Diving - Summer 2016

Scientific Diving is a 3 unit, elective course run through the Biology Department.  Over the course of ~100 hours you will learn advanced diving theory and techniques, and how to apply those skills to underwater sampling techniques on up to 13 dives.  Students that successfully complete this course will earn an American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS) Scientific Diver certification and possibly a National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI) Master Diver certification.  Successful completion of an AAUS scientific diving class or equivalent is required to conduct science using scuba diving at Cal Poly and at over 155 Organizational Members of the AAUS.

We will once again offer Scientific Diving in a condensed, three week format, at the end of the 10 week Summer session.  The class will tentatively run from Tuesday, August 16th through Friday, September 2nd.  This class will not leave much time for other activities during the week, meeting 8am-5pm, Monday - Friday.  The majority of this class involves field work, so meeting times can be variable (i.e. we may meet before 8am and/or finish after 5pm depending on conditions).

Due to the nature of scuba diving and offering MSCI 410 in a condensed format, we need to make sure that you are ready to take such a demanding course.  Enrollment is by permission code only, and there are a number of prerequisites.  This class is not for the novice scuba diver.  It is for divers with at least an Open Water certification from a nationally recognized scuba certification agency and who have logged at least 10 dives outside of your certification class.  It is recommended that you also have a Rescue and/or Advanced Scuba certification and have logged at least 20 dives in cold water.  You will be learning new skills everyday and there may not be enough time to review or redo skills should you have trouble.  Getting enough experience in before the class will make things much easier during the class.  Successful applicants will have to satisfy the prerequisite requirements and provide specific diver documentation, including a medical evaluation for scuba diving, as well as provide the required scuba equipment.

If you are interested in taking MSCI 410 - Scientific Diving, start by reviewing the program information on The Safety Stop, the website for Cal Poly's Scientific Diving program and filling out a Scientific Diving Application form.  The application period will remain open until May 31st, 2016.  After receiving student applications, Cal Poly's Diving Control Board will review the applicants, and select 8 students for the class.  Students will be selected based on diving experience, seniority, and need.  Need is defined as being an active participant in a lab that uses scientific diving or planning research using scientific diving.

In addition to the Scientific Diving Application, I would like to meet with prospective candidates, so that we can review the prerequisite requirements together and make sure that you are on a pathway to be ready for the course when it begins in August.  Unfortunately, the time to drop this course has passed by the time the class meets so we need to be reasonably sure that each candidate has the best chance to complete the course.  After filling out an application, please contact me directly to schedule an appointment.

For more information about the class, visit the following pages from The Safety Stop website:
1) Program Information
2) How to Become a Scientific Diver
3) MSCI 410 - Scientific Diving
    a) Class Prerequisites
4) Diver Documentation

Important Dates:
•              May 5, 2016 - Application period opens - Scientific Diver Application
•              May 31, 2016 - Application period closes
•              June 1 - 5, 2016 - Selection of candidates by Diving Control Board
•              June 6 - 10, 2016 - Notifications and distribution of permission codes for enrollment
•              August 16th, 2016 - First day of MSCI 410!

13. Order of the Engineer | June 10th | Register NOW!

Celebrate your success amongst family and friends by joining the Order of the Engineer! The Order of the Engineer is an association for graduate and professional engineers in the United States that emphasizes pride and responsibility in the engineering profession. It is not a membership organization; there are never any meetings to attend or dues to pay. Instead, the Order fosters a unity of purpose and the honoring of one's pledge.

At the ceremony, you will take an oath in which you promise to be an ethical engineer. Then, Dean Larson will induct you with a ring and certificate. The ring is worn on your pinky finger of your dominate hand. It will make a *clink* noise when you sign you name of documents which will remind you to always be an ethical engineer.

You can register here or at the Engineering Dean's Office as well as at our table in front of the library (11AM-1PM on May 16th, 18th, 24th, and 26th). The deadline to register is May 26th and the ceremony will take place form 4-6PM on June 10th.
