To All RAD groups,

In light of the semester coming to a close, we wanted to encourage students to carry on their projects even after they have completed EG 1004. If a group wants to continue their project after the end of the semester and retain ownership of their prototype, they can fill out this form. Completion of this form doesn't guarantee that the group will get to keep the project. The final decision is made by EG 1004 administration. The deadline for completion is this Saturday 4/27.

Good luck to everyone this submission week!

Dear EG 1004 Students!

As we mentioned in lecture and recitation, we are now hiring TAs for future semesters of EG 1004 (starting Fall 2024). We are looking for enthusiastic TAs who are passionate about shaping future STEM professionals. The application can be found at https://eg.poly.edu/apply .

We are excited about your interest in making EG 1004 the best possible course for incoming first-year students at Tandon. Applications are open until 11:59 PM EDT on May 15, 2023.
