Uhm.
I don't know about you, but missing Multimedia and Database on a Wednesday
definitely would not bother me. I actually have some worthwhile classes on
T/Th afternoons so I'd be all for an educational Wednesday down at the NIST.
November 5, 12, or 19? (I vote 11/12/03)
Glad to see everyone's still checkin this eMail thing over break.
I don't know about you, but I'm excited to see what great new look
http://www.engineering.villanova.edu/prospective/organizations/ieee.html has
after engineering adds whatever they want to it. :^}
Tis all from here. ~-*-~=#*->Dan

I personally think that the NIST sounds more interesting and like they
have a pre-packaged tour that might be more organized than something
we would get at Lockheed, however I'm a little concerned about how the
available times for the NIST would conflict with classes. Seeing as
the tours only run on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10-12, it seems to
me it would be difficult to organize with professors so that students
wouldn't be missing out on coursework. Maybe I'm just a dork and
concerned about that and no one else cares, if that's the case, I vote
NIST, otherwise, lets try to go to Lockheed some afternoon.

P.S. - a big thumbs down for Naval Surface Warfare Center for never
returning our email!
