In this course, my goal is to develop
creative, capable and convincing
..student engineers.
Each week should build capacity
for individual and team work
through a consistent process
of continuous improvement

Advice from former students
Dont worry -
participate in everything.
Very manageable
if you keep up to date.
Facilitating was challenging
and rewarding.
