Engineering Science (E SC) 433H provides E SC students with hands-on experimental laboratory research. Students take part in campus-wide laboratory tours that illustrate the variety of experimental practice.

This week the students worked in Engineering Science and Mechanics Fourier Optics Laboratory where they measured light scattering through a data storage CD under the direction of graduate student Joe Geddes (more photos). From their measurements, they will determine how many bytes are stored on a single CD. The experiment also provides a fundamental understanding of diffraction.

If you would like additional information about ESc 433H, please contact Professor Michael Lanagan.

The Fourier Optics Laboratory is under the direction of Professor Akhlesh Lakhtakia.

The ESM department held its annual Fall Picnic on Friday, September 16th.

Despite some early rain, the event was a success with more than 100 students, faculty, staff and family members in attendance. Photos from the event can be found by clicking this link.
