Troops: practically all class members have been successful in setting up their public_html site and those of you mounting your Lab 1 report have been individually informed of the score. I was generally well impressed with the quality of the problem statements. A wide diversity of interests exists, and I believe you will find ME 452 course content technically pertinent across the board. The few not yet setting up the site have earned scores of 0/2 and this constitutes a poor start for the semester. Note that PE 1 is due Tuesday, Sept 7, which is a firm deadline. PE assignments are to be submitted by scanning your work, converting to a pdf file and attaching as an email to [log in to unmask] A separate email giving detailed guidelines on this process will be sent shortly. This broadcast email is sent from the website "Communications" page to all registered students. I use this Bellsouth.net email portal exclusively for this purpose. DO NOT reply to this address - use ONLY [log in to unmask] for all course communications. AJB
