Four members of the Organizational Research (OR) Club,
Görkem Bedir, Damla Ahipaşağlu, Umut Ergunsu and Arda
Çetiner, recently travelled to Cambridge University in
the UK to participate in the 21st Council Meeting of
ESTIEM (European Students of Industrial Engineering and
Management). The club's ESTIEM Committee had just
completed their first year "observership" and were
requesting full membership.
ESTIEM's five-day meeting in Cambridge included general
assemblies, working groups, a career fair, company
presentations, a panel and some very enjoyable parties.
Later, the participants attended meetings in Nottingham.
The four Industrial Engineering students provided
information about Bilkent University by distributing
brochures about the university and giving a video-aided
presentation. Their ESTIEM membership was granted with a
majority vote of 37 to 40 and Bilkent's OR Club is now
authorized to organize ESTIEM activities and participate
in projects throughout Europe.
The next international ESTIEM activity will be a
Tournament in Management and Engineering Skills (TIMES
2001) to be organized locally by Bilkent's OR Club. For
this competition, Industrial Engineering students will
work in teams of four and prepare case studies. Local
winners will be announced on December 16 and the
OR club will finance the transportation to the European
semi-finals to be held in Hamburg between February 21
and 25. Finals will take place in Lisbon
(March 28 - 31).
For more information on the OR Club and ESTIEM, please
