He will spend two to four months aboard the ISS, where he will operate the robotic arm that is being used to construct the station. Anderson joined NASA in 1983 immediately after he completed his MS degree at Iowa State. He was selected into the astronaut training program in 1998 and has been preparing for his ISS assignment since 2003.

Mentoring workshop offered A daylong workshop on Friday, November 10, at the Scheman Continuing Education Building is designed to teach engineering students, faculty, and practitioners about mentoring. The Hoover Mentoring Workshop honors the memory of James M. Hoover, a long-time civil engineering faculty member known for mentoring his students to help them realize their full potential. James K. Mitchell, University Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Virginia Tech University, will present the keynote lecture, “LESSONS FROM LEGENDS: Some Technical, Professional, and Life Teachings from the Shapers of Geotechnical Engineering.” RSVP for the workshop by November 7. If you missed it… On October 23, Iowa State President Gregory Geoffroy and other members of the campus community discussed the university’s current expertise in biorenewables, biorenewable fuels, and future opportunities in this rapidly growing area.
