Happy Sunday, Well we don't have a blue sky today, but at least it isn't raining (now)! As we move into several units (sedimentation and granular media filtration) that are based on fluid mechanics, I thought I'd give you this bit of information I gleaned this morning from colleagues on Twitter and how prairie dog burrows are better ventilated than most classrooms . Wind-induced ventilation of the burrow of the prairie-dog, Cynomys ludovicianus From: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00694136 We will continue the unit on sedimentation this week. I posted a handout in the Lecture (powerpoint) folder on LON-CAPA. We'll work through this problem either Monday or Wednesday. On Tuesday, Paul Larios, MSU CEE alum will speak to us during the tutorial. We'll start his lecture at 10:30 am. He will speak about Water Resources Engineering in the Hudson Valley, NY. and will discuss four recent WTP/WWTP jobs he has worked on. Two involve the use of NYC water supply...
I'm so glad the spartan bike guy was there! When I went on campus with my friends to do the tutorial, we were talking about the situation and how we felt about it. I said that I did not savor every moment I had on campus because it wasn't my last semester back then. I didn't know there was going to be a pandemic and in a way, Fall 2019 was my last semester on campus. I am snug at home with my family, but I am missing the campus and feeling like I took that time for granted, especially the two years that I lived on it.
ReplyDeleteWho knew? I think of the first half of the semester in ENE 489 and can envision where you and others sat. I think of being able to walk back to EB with you and your classmates or to chat before class. Little did any of know that those days would be limited. :( We make the best of what we have and hope that we all make it through unscathed, as best we can. And we savor the things that are normal, like the presence of the sparty bike guy.
