Completing older nuggets

Hi 2.131,

If you complete a nugget assignment, even if it is very old, I will check you off if you email it to me.

If you need help with an older nugget, please feel free to email me and/or the lab prof. There is no guarantee that we'll be able to accommodate -- in particular, nuggets that require setup (like LabView) are probably no longer available.

Lab profs: you're not obligated to help with older nuggets, but you're encouraged to help in ways that aren't an undue burden, such as answering questions by email.

Best,
Span

New EM FEA nugget due date: next Friday

Hi 2.131,

We haven't received many responses for the EM FEA nugget. The nugget prof, George, has decided to extend the deadline to next Friday, 04-26. Instructions are in the "Electromagnetic FEA" tab in the nugget spreadsheet. Please email me (span@mit.edu) or George (gcw@alum.mit.edu) if you have any questions.

Best,
Span

Guest tomorrow, please re-introduce your project

Hi 2.131 teams,

We have a guest attending lecture tomorrow -- Carl MacInnes, a director of Fonterra, the largest dairy producer in the world.

Please start your presentations tomorrow with a brief introduction to your project:
- the problem you are trying to solve and why it is an important problem
- how you plan to solve it

This should take 30sec-1min, just enough so that an intelligent non-domain-expert can understand what you're doing. Then you can move directly into project updates as planned.

Best,
Span
