Happy Sunday!

I hope you have been able to take some time to relax this weekend.

This past week we completed all material for ENE489. The last homework assignment and participation question are due on Monday 4/19/2021 (let me know if you need the grace period). In class on Friday, we decided to use the last two class periods for FE review sessions.

Monday: Toxicology and risk calculations 

Wednesday: Chemistry (with some mass balance)

Project 3 is due on 4/26/2021 at 11:59 pm. If you need the 72-h grace period let me know.  I've posted the recording of Friday's discussion of the project.  The YouTube video is unlisted, the link is https://youtu.be/bmWYTBNMqis. The link is also posted on the list of recorded videos on LON-CAPA.

There is no final exam in ENE 489. There is no need to log into Zoom during the final exam.  

I will hold office hours as usual this week from 10-11 am. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have via Zoom or email. 

You should have received an email from Bailey Weber about CLOSE forms, which help us improve student mastery of material and are an important part of the ABET process. Please complete the ENE 489 form at:

You should have received an email about the College of Engineering Withrow Award for Teaching Excellence from Sharita Williamson. You can find the form at: https://forms.gle/HagSiimPY2cm2CVv6.

We're almost at the summit of Spring2021 Mountain! Keep pushing forward and let's all celebrate together come April 30th when this semester officially comes to a close.

All the best,

Dr. Masten

Greetings and happy Saturday! I hope you are all doing well!  I can't believe January is almost over - where did the month go?  As I mentioned in class, under each LON-CAPA problem is a discussion board. Feel free to use that to ask questions about a particular problem. All I ask is that you don't post complete solutions, but feel free to provide guidance and/or support for your classmates. I would love for the discussion boards to help create a learning community.  On Monday we will discuss emission factors and also how this relates to Project 1, which is posted on LON-CAPA in the project folder. I have also posted team assignments there. On Wednesday, we will begin a discussion of the health effects of air pollutants. As part of that unit, you may be interested in some recent reports: Air pollution is linked to permanent vision loss   Air pollution is a serious threat to human health in Salt Lake City, Utah The article mentioned can be found here Air Pollution in S...

  Happy Monday, I apologize for the lateness of this weekly message. I don't have any good excuse - I just forgot to write it.  I all of you had a wonderful weekend. I took some time to get in three very nice walks (and over 10 miles). Although it doesn't look like it in the photos, Spring is really here. On Sunday, I walked in the Ingham County Conservation District in Mason with a friend. We saw (and heard) geese, wood ducks, mallard ducks, turtles, wood frogs, a coopers hawk, red-winged blackbird, a muskrat, merganser ducks, and spring peepers. And we saw a garter snake, along with trout lilies and skunk cabbage pushing up from the soil. We will continue control of air pollutants, focusing our discussion on gaseous pollutants.  The homework on primary particulate control technologies (gravity settlers, centrifugal separators, ESPs) is due on Monday April 5.  If you need the 48 h grace period, just let me know. Participation question 11 is due on the same d...
