Two Announcements

1) There is a meeting this Friday (9/24) at 2:30 in the SM260 conference room. I believe there will be a presentation about a thorium reactor project in addition to other club business.

2) On a less serious note, BBC America (Comcast digital cable 114) is having a "Top Gear" marathon this weekend to lead into their new season opener Monday. This show is an acquired taste, but where else could you see a test drive of the Ariel Atom?

ASME "Lunch and Learn"

There will be a "Lunch and Learn" lecture about solar energy this Friday, August 20, at about 11:30. Food (pizza) supplied by the ASME professional chapter.

The location is the second floor conference room in the Frenchtown Renaissance building.

Students are encouraged to attend. You can usually meet some FSU and TCC students as well as engineers at these sessions.

Hopkins Plant Tour

The ASME professional chapter will be hosting a "Welcome Students Back Hopkins Plant Tour" on Sept 8 (Wednesday) in the early evening.

See the September 9, 2009 posting for directions from last year's trip.

I cannot attend because it conflicts with my evening PHY2048 class, but I highly encourage you to go on this combination tour, meet-and-greet (engineers and FSU engineering students), and feeding frenzy.
