The next team meeting is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, March 25th. Please check your schedules and send available times to Denna.

Issues

1)  where to separate modeling and engineering tools

Engineering Math fundamentals Math skills content, MET 160

Engineering tools

Computing tools  -- Principles (documenting, writing code, programs, routines, functions, procedures, sheets, algorithms, protocols, or whatever the tool calls them) that are 1) reusable 2) top down 3)  modular 4) object oriented, etc;  along with engineering problems that lend themselves to demonstrating  problem solving using  computing tools. These problems may need iteration or advanced techniques beyond a freshman year level that can be used in a canned or functional form inside of an overall framework or require a graphical or paradigmatic representation facilitated with a computer tool, or whatever.

Stony Brook 10 step lab procedure:

1. reading scientific literature

2. making hypothesis

3. identifying methods to use

4. learning experimental technique that you are going to use

5. setting up experiment setting it up as literature says
