Notes and Announcements

 230918 – So I wanted to resolve project placement for next term this week, but so far only 29 of you have filled out the preference form (link right under this) - please fill it out NOW unless you're okay with getting randomly assigned to the largest project of your undergraduate career... (Seriously, please do this right away!)

 230914 – Everyone please go to https://go.umd.edu/484S24_preferences and take the survey to list your preferences for both project and specialty group for ENAE 484. Descriptions of both are in the slides for today's lecture. It would be great if you could do it in the next couple of days.
