9/10/2009: On Monday Sept 14th after we meet with the customer representative for our project. We will first meet in the class room and have a short presentation before we take a field trip across the street and get a demonstration of the existing system along with being able to ask any questions that you might have about the customers plans and needs for the system. Please prepare your questions beforehand and bring any recording devices (at least a pencil and paper) that you'd like to use for this demonstration. Please inform your classmates since the all class email that I sent bounced for two recipients.
