Week 8: October 22

Greetings and Happy Sunday,

I hope all of you are enjoying Fall Break.

Since we do not have lab on Tuesday, we will not have lab on Thursday either.  However, please remember that Lab 2 is due on Friday, October 27th.  I will not do a participation question this week since we do have class.

Sarah will have grades posted by mid-week so you can receive feedback before Lab 2 is due. 

If you would like to provide feedback to me as your instructor, feel free to use the mid-semester evaluation.  You can use this for any course you have on campus.

On a completely different note:

Dr. Tula Ngasala and I are exploring developing a humanitarian engineering minor for engineering students who aspire to work with communities to co-create sustainable and just solutions to the problems they face.

I am inviting you to participate in a brief survey to help us determine the level of interest among engineering alumni and students regarding the proposed minor in humanitarian engineering and ultimately design a course that meets the College of Engineering at Michigan State University requirements.

This unique training will change the way engineers think about how engineers and scientists define and solve some of our most pressing problems.

Please note that we do NOT collect any email addresses or personally identifiable information from you.

Here are the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/Wb4GeKtHPrdS3V4r6

Thank you in advance for your support!

See you in class on the 30th!

All the best,

Dr. Masten

Happy Sunday, I hope you all had a relaxing break. In the lecture this week, you will work with your teammate(s) to plan the final lab project, which you will work on this week and next.  I will not present any new material. I have posted the handout in the Final Project folder.  This week's participation question is on LON-CAPA and the Final Project are due on Friday, Dec 1. If you would like the grace period through Sunday Dec. 3rd, please let me know. All the best, Dr. Masten

Week 1: Happy Labor Day!

I hope you are enjoying the long weekend and the last few days of summer!  It's definitely been a beautiful weekend.     This week in ENE 480, we will prepare health and safety plans during lab.  You will complete these in your assigned teams, which have been posted to LON-CAPA.  Only one team member needs to upload your HASP to the dropbox on LON-CAPA. The HASP is due on at the end of each lab period.   We will meet in the Trans Lab to work on the health and safety plans. I anticipate that you should be able to complete the HASP within the first two hours. The link to the template is on LON-CAPA.  Please make sure to download the template before you begin your work. The grading rubric along with a pre-recorded lecture is posted on LON-CAPA in the Health and Safety Plans folder. Section 2 students: there has been a glitch in scheduling the Trans Lab (which allowed it to be double booked for ENE 480 and ENE 472).  The conflict is from 2:4...

ENE 480: Week 14 Dec 3, 2023

Happy Sunday, Several of you have asked for an extended grace period to have time to study for the ENE 421 exam.  As I understand that this exam is a significant portion of your grade, I will allow you until Tuesday at 11:59 PM to turn in Lab4 report/presentation. Any extensions beyond this Tuesday will result in a 10%/day penalty. In the lecture this week, you will work with your teammate(s) to analyze the kinetic data you obtained last week for the final lab project. This will help you decide what to do in lab this week. I will not present any new material. The last participation (reflection) question is on LON-CAPA and is due on Monday 12/11 at 11:59 PM, at the same time as the final project report (which can be submitted as a team) All the best, Dr. Masten
