ENE 480 Week 7

Greetings on this beautiful Sunday!  I apologize for not sending this message out sooner.

First things: we have a new room for lecture: EB 1220!  Hopefully, the technology will work better. The Zoom link will not change.

This week in lecture we will discuss  Lab 2, which will build on last week's lecture on project planning.

In lab this week, you will you will meet with your teammate(s) in the Trans Lab and will work on the project planning part of Lab 2.  Shardula will be in lab to answer questions.  

Several of the teams still have not completed the Google form documenting data from Lab 1. It is critical that everyone provides the requisite information. It is important that you provide the exact sampling location. For example, state that you sampled the hall bubbler near Room 15XX, or that you sampled the water bottle dispensing station near Room 22XX.  Failure to complete the Google form in full will result in the deduction of points on Lab 1.

Due this week: 

  • Participation Question 6.
  • Lab 1 Memo/Report is due on Friday, October 14 at 11:59 PM. Only one submission per team is required.  The grading rubric is posted in the Lab 1 folder.

If you would like to provide feedback on ENE 480 (or any MSU course): feel free to complete the online mid-semester evaluation form. The information is provided to the instructor only and is anonymous. 

All the best,

Dr. Masten

On Friday and Saturday, I sampled several water bodies to prepare for Lab 2.  I thought I would share the photos with you.

 Good evening, I hope you are had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break! On Monday, I will not lecture, but will be available in the classroom to answer any questions you may have about Lab 4 presentations and the final design project.  If you borrowed the CO2 monitor, charger, and USB cable over break, please make sure to bring them to lecture on Monday.  The data are to be downloaded before arriving in class. Failure to return the equipment in working order on the day specified will result in a zero for lab 4. You should be prepared to work on the final project during lab this week (and next).   Lab 4 presentations and reports and the participation question responses are due Friday, Dec. 2. The final project is due Monday, Dec. 12 at 11:59 PM.  The final participation question responses will be due at the same time. All the best, Dr. Masten

In lecture on Monday, I will discuss the final project and provide additional guidance beyond what we discussed last week. Section 2 students: please arrive to class ready to turn in the CO2 monitor, charger and USB cable before class.  The data are to be downloaded before arriving in class. Failure to return the equipment in working order on the day specified will result in a zero for lab 4. There is no lab this week for either Section 1 or Section 2 students. If you would like to work on the final project on Tuesday afternoon, please email Joseph to make arrangements.  There is no participation question this week. Enjoy Thanksgiving and rest! Lab 4 presentations and reports are due Friday, Dec. 2. All the best, Dr. Masten
