| LAB #5 DUE OCTOBER 10, 2003 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hello Class! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| For this Friday, I would like to go off-text to hit some websites that | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| might be of interest to you.� After you have completed all of these hits, e-mail me with your | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ideas and impressions of the sites.� By this I don?t mean ?I like it? or ?I don?t like it? but something | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| INSIGHTFUL!� You can have a negative opinion; as long as you pay enough attention to have an opinion you will be doing your homework correctly! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| First, Johns Hopkins has a virtual | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| engineering laboratory at: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| http://www.jhu.edu/virtlab/virtlab.html | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| For the first part of your assignment, I'd like you to hit this site, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| try at least three of the experiments, and send me an email message re your impressions of the site.� Your response should have some content (such as:� when I tried the robotic arm, I found it | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| difficult to articulate until i tried ...etc.) and not just generic | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| comments . | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Second, the National Society for Professional Engineers website is at: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| http://www.nspe.org. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hit this site, look up a couple of topics that interest you, and e-mail | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| me telling me what you found at this site. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Third, go to the Discover Engineering website at (duh) www.discoverengineering.org and have a look around also. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fourth, look at www.eweek.org for some information on National Engineering week. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fifth, go to www.collegenet.com and perform a Custom Search with some interesting criteria.� Tell me what you searched for and what you found. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Finally, look on the internet for a site of interest to you as an engineer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| E-mail me with the URL for that site, and tell me a little bit about | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| what you found there. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| So, this week's assignment should be somewhat easier than the last two weeks. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When you e-mail, I will once again respond to you privately to tell you | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| if your work is complete. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Astrid | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
