Senior design presentations

The Structural Engineering shares our philosophy of CE senior design:  students need to do real work for real clients.  But their approach is very different from ours, and so Dr. Shochat and I are planning a journal article on our approaches to the same goal.  They have ~100 senior in Structural or Construction Eng, and each student is on a different project.  Today, all the student presented their projects, with completion of their designs in June.  Four concurrent tracks, 15 min each from 0900-1500.  Whew.  Here's one of the construction students, with a drawing of his site on the screen.

On a more personal side, I've been quite the dog-walker.  She's a miniature Doberman, and is very glad that I've been showing up to walk her, while Donna's in the hospital.  And the report on Soroka Hospital is that it has a lovely shaded entry way from the street, very strict security, and its signs inside are in Hebrew and Arabic - no English that I saw.  The lesson here is to be a visitor in the hospital, not a patient, although many of the doctors and staff speak English.
