During the weekend of October 9, the Alumni and Active Brothers of Beta Chapter celebrated Theta Tau Founder's Day with the initiation of two new honorary brothers, and a magnificent dinner at the Chapter House in Houghton Michigan.  On Friday night, Dr. Dave House and Dr. David Hand were initiated into the timeless and meaningful rituals which highlight the importance of the engineering profession, and the high ethical standards to which the Brothers of Theta Tau strive in pursuing their careers.  Dave House, a 1965 B.S.E.E. graduate of Michigan Tech with an M.S.E.E. from Northeastern University, has probably done more to profoundly change the way we live and do business than any other Michigan Tech graduate.  He spent 23 years in senior management positions at Intel, and is known in the industry as "Mr. Intel Inside" for heading up the "Intel Inside" development, and indeed baptizing the program with the "Intel Inside" trademark.  He has served as the President of Allegro Networks, Nortel Networks, and Bay Networks, and is now the Chairman of the Board of Brocade Communications.  He serves on the Board of the Computer History Museum, and as a Trustee of the Michigan Tech Fund.  He is helping Michigan Tech transform its Electrical Engineering program to the needs of the 21st Century, and is Chair of the $250,000,000 Michigan Tech Capital Campaign. Dave House David Hand Civil and Environmental Engineering Professor Dr. David Hand's research interests include the development and application of physical and chemical processes for the recovery, removal, or destruction of organic compounds from air and water streams in industrial processes and the environment. Since 1983, he has been involved as a principal and co-principal investigator in environmental engineering research projects funded by over eight million dollars. Dr. Hand has authored and co-authored 75 peer reviewed journal articles, 15 peer reviewed published reports, 9 refereed conference proceedings, 2 published abstracts, 12 unpublished and/or confidential reports, 2 patents, 7 copyrighted software programs, and 50 contributions to conferences and symposia which were not given in proceedings. Journals he has published in include: the Journal of Environmental Engineering and American Water Works Association Journal. At the Saturday evening gala, the Brothers honored Beta members who have been inducted into the Theta Tau Hall of Fame by introducing the prominent display of their photos. Those brothers include Herman Hopkins, Jim Klungness, James Martin, James Mitchell, Don Saari, and most recently, Retired Air Force General Todd Stewart.
