Week of Feb 8

This week in DE
Students will finish their Date of Birth designs and breadboards on Monday.  If you are not finished by the end of Monday, please make plans to do so outside of class so that you can complete the next assignment on time.  

CTE has duty this week, so I will not be available for morning tutorials.  I will be here, however, every afternoon.  You can work on Inventor in Mrs. Saksena's room 603, if you need to work in the morning.

Agendas: 
Monday- Complete DOB breadboards.  Video before next class.
Wednesday - Programmable Logic Design
Friday - Date of Birth on PLD.

Edison Lecture
 On Feb 17, next Tuesday, engineering students can attend the Edison Lecture Series  at UT.  The buses will leave RRHS at 10:15 so that you will have time to visit UT engineering students and faculty showing off their current projects and activities.  Following that, we will attend the lecture on the topic of Big Data, which I can only guess has to do with the technology of storing data; how that has changed; and how it has enabled much of the technology we know today.  We should return to campus in time for C lunch (2:00).

If you are interested, be sure that you sign up on this form, so that I have the needed information.  You also need to complete the RRISD permission form, which requires signatures from your parents, teachers, and yourself.  You can print the linked copy or get one from me.

This week at RRHS
This is the final week of the 4th six weeks.  The year is really flying by quickly.  Be sure that you have all work caught up and turned in to me by Friday so that I have time to get it  graded before grades are due next Tuesday morning.
