Engineering 101: the Friday talks
Course structure
- Engineering 101 meets twice a week:
- once for the ongoing team lab project;
- once for the Friday guest talk.
- Lab projects are run entirely separately from Friday talks. Different
sections meet at different times of the week, with different instructors.
Information on the labs is not on this web page.
- Friday talks:
- Hosted by Sam Fenster.
- 1:00–1:50 on video using Zoom.
- Grades for this portion of the class (not the lab) are based on your
attendance.
- Questions are encouraged at the end of each talk.
A Zoom link was emailed to students at the beginning of the semester.
To make sure you can connect
properly, you’ll be able to join as early as 12:30.
