Hey all,

This is the LAST reminder to return all SLDP kits today by 8 pm, in Open Lab (JABS 573). Failure to return your kit will result in a grade of I (Incomplete) in EG-UY 1004: Introduction to Engineering and Design. If the I (Incomplete) is not resolved in a timely manner, the grade will convert to an F (Fail). If you have returned your kit, please disregard this message.

Hope everyone had a great semester with the EG1004 team and good luck with finals!

Hey all!

Hi all!

Just another reminder that Open Lab will be running at a modified schedule today (04/27) and will be closed from 6-8 pm. It will reopen on Friday (04/28) and follow the normal schedule.

Good luck with your submissions!

To All RAD groups,

In light of the semester coming to a close, we wanted to encourage students to carry on their projects even after they have completed EG 1004. If a group wants to continue their project after the end of the semester and retain ownership of their prototype, they can fill out this form. Completion of this form doesn't guarantee that the group will get to keep the project. The final decision is made by EG 1004 administration.

Good luck to everyone this submission week!

Dear EG 1004 Students, 

Unfortunately, Melissa Goldman the VP of Corporate Engineering at Google is unable to make it to lecture next week due to travel for work. So, like I mentioned on Monday, I'm cancelling lecture. Everyone will receive credit for lecture 9. Please use the lecture time to work on your SLDPs. The next and final lecture, Lecture 10 World Trade Center Construction, with Peter Rinaldi (former Assistant Director of Engineering for the New York and New Jersey Port Authority) will take place on April 10th. See you in Pfizer Auditorium on April 10th!

For those of you who are really interested in the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning lecture you may view the Spring 2021 Zoom recording here. Please ignore the outdated opening content and reminders. At that time Melissa Goldman was Chief Information Officer at JP Morgan Chase Bank. YOU MUST BE LOGGED INTO YOUR NYU ZOOM ACCOUNT in order to view this recording.

Best,

Professor Bringardner
