Making a Difference

Well, trying to make progress at my school on two fronts. We got a grant to buy some National Instrument LabView packages. The grant is providing funds for my training. It is exciting because this will bring us up to the 21 st century in techniques used in top of the line engineering programs, industry and even the military. This package can be used to program and take data, so my students will be in hog heaven.
In addition to this the wind tunnel comes on Monday. This can be used in Mechanical engineering, AP Physics, Honors Physics and Aerodynamics. Students have been asking for this course for a long time, so it should be well received also. This will supply me with what the Japanese call "The reason to get up in the morning" for at least five more years.
