Dateline: Home Study

Well, I'm a little better organized now. I spent much of the afternoon moving books around on my shelves, tossing some files in the trash, some in the shredder, and cleaning some space for the new semester. I also moved files around on the laptop getting ready for new courses.

I'll be taking two classes this semester, co-teaching one, and co-teaching/assiting with another but it only meets once a week for an hour. Should prove to be an interesting semester, which gets underway Wednesday with registration Tuesday.

Now, if I can ever kick this cough/cold/crud that keeps hanging on!

Tom Barnett posted a link to a podcast of an interview he did a while back about Blueproint for Action. It can be found here http://thebookcast.blogspot.com/2005/11/thomas-barnett-stansfield-turner.html.

Dateline: Home Study

While looking for a podcast by Thomas Barnett on TCSDaily, I ran across one of Henry Petroski. Petrsoki is one of my favorite engineer authors who is able to get at the heart of engineering and seems to understand that it really is more than just numbers.

I finished the final edit of the syllabus for Engineering and Public Policy today and uploaded it to WebCT. The semester is just around the weekend and I'm still not quite ready for it.
