We will be having our first meeting of the semester Friday, February 3rd. We will be discussing the following topics:
After the meeting, Kevin will be conducting a seminar on programming the Lego Mindstorms NXT robots.
The tour demonstrated 4 major sections of research that use technology in most of our fields. These areas are in order: Microscopy, Crystallography, Robot Research Lab, and Biotech and Bioinformatic. Unfortunately, I was unable to get any pictures of the Biotech/Bioinformatic lab, but those who would want more information about these departments can contact me.
IEEE Recently co-hosted its first game day with SPS and SME! We had a small Halo: Reach tournament, with prizes for the winners. SPS was kind enough to let us use the Physics Lounge for our event. We had a good turnout, and much fun was had. We even claimed the life of a chair at some point.
