Please print and bring them to class on Friday. 03 Oct: the McMaster Water Week is approaching next week, and so are the course projects for 4M3. At least one of the 4 projects will be related to water treatment, and I recommend you all attend the poster presentations on Wednesday, 08 Oct, from 2:30 to 4:30pm, in the MSUC atrium. If you would like to earn 10% bonus credit for your project, you should attend the poster presentation and interview at least one of the 60 poster presenters. Ask him/her what aspect of water treatment, pollution, or monitoring they are researching; how their work impacts society, and which technological tools they are using. Add this as an extra half-page to your project report. 04 Oct: The next assignment is posted and is due 10 days from now: 14 October. No late-ins and MSAFs for this one please. Solutions posted right away.
