You are required to meet with your advisor every term in order to receive your PIN. Please visit the
BEE
advising webpage to review requirements and the advising guide.
You don’t have to wait until registration time to set up an appointment. As long as you have had a meeting this term and discussed future coursework, the advisor can issue you your PIN number via email when they become available. If you will have a lot
to discuss in your meeting, it is a good idea to get in early.
The College of Engineering and College of Science offer free peer tutoring for a wide variety of courses. Check this webpage for more information and schedules

NEW! Mentorship Program
Welcome to the start of the year with the BEE community! We have an exciting new program for our Ecological Engineering undergraduates starting this
year thanks to input from our Alumni during exit interviews and BEE Department Head’s, Dr. Adam Ward, excitement to invest in every students success while studying with us and beyond.
We would like to invite you all to participate in the
Biological & Ecological Engineering Mentor Collective Program. When you sign up for this program, you will be matched with an alumni mentor. A mentor can provide additional support and guidance because they have been where you are now.
To get started, register and complete a short survey (this will take you only 3 minutes!) telling us about yourself, and we will match you with a mentor with
similar interests and backgrounds and what’s important to you.
Click
here to register and complete your survey
Once you complete that survey, you can expect an email from the Mentor Collective team with more information – be sure to check it out, and do not hesitate
to reach out to Jennifer Cohen in either the main office (Gilmore 116) or her email at
Jennifer.cohen@oregonstate.edu
or reach out to the Mentor Collective directly at help@mentorcollective.org.
CE 499/599: ST/Engineering with Nature
Instructor: Meagan Wengrove (Meagan.wengrove@oregonstate.edu)
Course Meets: W/F 8:30am-9:50am
Description: We focus on the using natural resources and nature based features (coastal dunes, marshes, cobble berms,

HMSC
Research Seminar – Applications of Broadband Acoustic Backscatter
When: Thursday, November 21 – 3:30-4:30pm
Where:
Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365
Speaker: Scott Loranger, Acoustician and Applications Scientist, Kongsberg Discovery
Topic: Applications of broadband acoustic backscatter
Broadband acoustic backscatter is capable of detecting, identifying, and quantifying a vast array of targets in the
marine environment. What started as a tool for fisheries biomass estimation, has evolved into a system for identifying fish species, quantifying oil spills, monitoring carbon sequestration sites, monitoring power plant intakes, monitoring freshwater turbines,
quantifying turbulence, and mapping water masses. Broadband acoustic quantification relies on combining physics-based models of broadband acoustic scatter with direct measurements of either single targets or aggregations of targets. New applications continue
to be developed as the instrumentation and modelling advances and so do data storage and processing capabilities. This presentation will focus on the use of broadband acoustics for target detection, identification, and quantification, drawing from research
conducting by the author and from the broader acoustics research community.
