At our next all-course meeting: 4:00pm, Thursday, 2nd February, 20 Goessmann, teams will give a brief ppt update on their projects. 

 

Each team is to provide a link on their SDP06 website, by 10am Thu 2nd Feb, to their team's "Project Update - 2nd Feb 2006" ppt show consisting of two slides:

  1. Slide 1:  Project Title, Team Member names, Faculty Advisor and Project Abstract

  2. Slide 2: the project update

We will harvest these ppt slides at 10:01am, Thur. 2nd Feb, and have them loaded on a computer, so that team representatives can speak to them during the all-course meeting.
