21 February 2023

Hello!

You are receiving this email regarding CoE 164 because you are enrolled in my section (TXY). This will also be the main e-mail thread regarding updates in our course. Please ignore the previous email thread entitled "[CoE 164] TXY Class Updates" because I have just changed the subject of the email thread to add the semester when the course is offered.

To start the semester, I would like to set-up an onboarding meeting with all of you on Tuesday, 21 February 2023 at EEEI Rm 307* at our designated time (2:30 PM). We will also concurrently have a Zoom session for those who will not be able to attend physically. The link to that is here:

Meeting ID: 976 8689 1998
Passcode: 59946248

It's for us to see each other and be up to date with the course information and requirements, and how the course will go through the semester in general.

Thank you and hope to see you soon!

* For those unaware, Rm 307 is located at the 3rd floor old building. From the stairs, it is on the left side adjacent to the STC laboratory (Rm 208). This room is also tentative only as we are waiting to secure a computer lab for us.
