After your second attempt, if your cube is not visible, you will need to demonstrate that the object that was displaced did contain a cube. Before disassembling your design, you need to a) Get a picture taken of your design which clearly shows the completed EM103 Information Display Sheet. b) Have a faculty site official verify that all the information required has been measured and have them initial your ME103 Cube Displacement Documentation Form.. c) Turn in your EM103 Information Display Sheet at the sign-in table.

The same is true,of course, of environmental engineering design courses – the list goes on and on. However, asalways, the devil in is the details. How can this material be covered in a class that is already“over-booked” with respect to material coverage, and by instructors who may not themselvesfeel comfortable with the material?While some engineering professors may be familiar and comfortable with the public policyprocess and associated issues, many are not. This presents a problem because, as with mostthings, real-life examples and anecdotes play a crucial role in making the subject come alive forengineering students. The
