This morning we began at the Environmental Sciences building on the main campus. Each group discussed their projects and highlighted master plans and potential road blocks as they get started. It was a productive discussion with a lot of great ideas thrown out for all of the groups.
We continued our morning with a tour of the EESAT building. Under the guidance of Christina and Shane, we saw work areas for the aquiponics and stream teams, as well as different areas of building. Out in the parking lot they talked about the alternative energy provided to the adjoining greenhouse via solar and wind energy.
We were left in the capable hands of Brian after returning to the lobby area where he discussed interesting "green" aspects of the EESAT building. Among other things to view in the area, environmental foot prints, watersheds of Texas, and an amazing fulgurite kept our attention for the rest of the morning.
After lunch Dr. Yan Wan guided us through the particulars about Systems Control Engineering. We played with computer simulations of open and closed loop systems using the example of cruise control and position control.
Zac finished our day with a crash course in blogging. So, here we are, blogging away.
Thank you to everyone who made this day possible.
