Erica (Thomas) Switzer
No full textErica (Thomas) Switzer, class of 2000, grew up in Maywood, in Cook County. She did very well in school growing up, went into an accelerated learning program, and still wanted more of a challenge. An IMSA recruiter visited her school and she immediately did everything she could to attend.
Switzer met her best friend the summer before starting at IMSA and they became roommates. Despite not always getting along in the first year, they learned a lot from the experience. Academically, Switzer felt challenged at first, but learned to ask for help. She loved her chemistry classes and enjoyed humanities and world languages as well. English classes helped her to flourish as a writer, an interest she\u27d had from a young age, and she even learned to love writing papers.
Outside of classes, Switzer actively participated in all sorts of cultural events and especially enjoyed Diwali and Lunar New Year. She was a part of the poetry club, the Poetry in Motion dance club, sang in the choir, and did comedy with Club Pseudo.
Switzer attended Lake Forest College and thought she would study business, but she switched to majoring in English. She then got a Masters in English Literature from DePaul University. For a while she worked in a corporate job and, facing personal challenges, she then found her way back into writing and comedy. She spent 4 years in China where she taught English literature, and also took up public speaking and comedy again.
Switzer has since returned to the Chicago area and she is a comedian. She credits IMSA with her inquiry-based approach to life and learning. Even in comedy, she describes the scientific approach to testing out jokes and observing reactions. She remembers her IMSA experience fondly and says she wouldn\u27t change a thing.

Design of housing for SUMs to measure adoption
No full textThesis: S.B., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2017.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 27-28).Billions of people around the globe rely on solid fuels such as wood or charcoal to heat their homes and cook their meals which negatively impacts health as well as the environment. Improved cook stoves negate these problems but are often not used over time. Stove use monitors (SUMs) are attached to improved cook stoves to track adoption rates. Three basic designs were generated of a housing for the SUM. They were analyzed by considering material choices, manufacturing options, and customer needs. Thermal images were taken of an improved cook stove in use to measure temperatures at key locations around the stove. It was found that the sides and handles of the stove attain a maximum temperature of above 150 °C (300 °F), and the feet and base of the stove below that. It was determined the best course of action is to design a housing for the base or feet of the stoves and use resin casting and later injection molding as production needs increase.by Erica Waller.S.B
