Announcements (previous ones) or follow @3k4reactors 10 Mar: assignment 4 consists of the following 40 points: Questions 2 [9] and 3 [11 points] from tutorial 6. Question 1 from tutorial 7 [20 points]. 11 Mar: please see the message below: Amna Hyder, McMaster Integrated Science, is conducting a study on student perceptions of scientific literacy at McMaster. This research is part of her Independent Project in the Honours Integrated Science program at McMaster University. As part of her research, Amna Hyder is inviting you to take part in a 15-question anonymous online survey that will take about 5 minutes to complete. Please use this link to complete the online survey. Thanks. Kevin 15 Mar: job opening with Kevin over the summer. I'm looking for a student to work with Dan Wright and myself for 2 months (full time), or 3.5 months (part time) to help redesign and implement the ChemEng website in Drupal. Experience with webservers, and Linux is a plus; knowledge of Drupal is mandatory. Work will be to evaluate other websites, take all user requirements into account, and convert existing pages over to the Drupal CMS. Email me by the end of March. 17 Mar: the next 2 tutorial sessions will be an open opportunity for you and your group to start your course project. Come with your plan and work on it in tutorial time. The instructor and TAs will be available for general guidance. This is a good practice round for the sorts of projects you will start to see in your 4th year courses, where you have limited assistance from the TAs and instructor. 18 Mar: we will begin the next section on steady-state nonisothermal reactor design.
