Spring Semester Projects

So... because of MEA weekend, today is the end of the week. This week is especially important because this marks the half way point of the semester. For some of us this is not big deal, for others, this midpoint makes their eyes wide and their minds race on where the time has already went. Many of our projects have begun to take shape and groups such as my own are presenting their design options to their clients before carrying on into manufacturing and other steps.

Today faculty went around to the students and asked them where they might like a project next semester. The different types of projects that may be available next semester are: industrial, mining, biomedical, or other fields. This is important because it makes it a much more enjoyable experience to work on a task you are interested in. Also, non-graduating seniors need to take a look at the topics that they have left to cover to make sure they have met all requirements. By trying to predict the learning that may come from the projects, a student can hopefully schedule their learning so that a majority of it comes directly from the hands on engineering done in the R&D.
