i'm so excited! it looks like i'll be able to mentor more students next spring!
Dr. Thompson, the professor we worked with for the class this spring, is going to offer a different class next spring, despite being overloaded himself on his schedule for teaching. this year's class was "Product Development," which he made into a design class along the way. he wasn't scheduled to teach it again, though, which was disappointing. BUT! he is proposing a "Humanitarian Engineering" class to the dean that will have design projects for developing areas! hopefully, they'll let him do it.
he's thinking 16-20 students, for 4-5 teams. of course i jumped on the bandwagon right away, saying i would love to do it again (and sort of assuming ATC would agree). John (from ATC) does, in fact, agree and says we should be good for 2-3 of those projects!
great news all around. i can't wait to see what projects we come up with!
Sounds so exciting! Not that we should start wishing THIS spring away now that it's finally begun.
