These notes are available in Word document format in the link at the right. However, I wanted to post them here for quick access and to allow comments directly related to today's meeting.
10/31/2008 Meeting w/ Dr. Eberhard:
1. The EES faculty appreciates our proposal and provided us a budget of $7,500.
It was suggested we develop a staged approach keep Eberhard (and the EES faculty) involved in terms of your decisions, the timing, and the budget. We determined a blog would be best for this.
2. Additional notes discussed:
Consider reducing the number of computers from 8 to 6 or 4.
Need to include printer in floor plan.
Suggestion to add computer projector so that students can practice presentations.
Provide connectivity for laptops instead of just desktops
Continuous bench instead of individual desks.
High quality furniture instead of cheap.
