Hello,

Here in the Department of Nutrition and Food Science's Lipid Laboratory we
have two research studies that will be taking place early next semester. Each
of these studies involve the evaluation of student dietary intake as it
relates to young adult health risk factors. As the success of these research
endeavors relies on the involvement of URI students, we are looking into ways
to further publicize our projects and recruit participants. I have attached
two fliers-one for the Nutrition Assessment study, and one that introduces all
studies taking place in our department. If you know who I should contact
further, or if more information is needed please let me know.  One option that
helped us in previous semesters was when professors would make announcements
or show the powerpoint slide before class starts (as student arrive).  Any
suggestions or help in our efforts to recruit would be greatly appreciative.

Please e-mail Emily or Jill at this address or lipidlab at etal.uri.edu with any
inquiries. Thank you.

Message-ID: <4970E101.3030700@ele.uri.edu>

Dear Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering students,

Due to large demand, a section of ELE 313 will be created for Spring 
2009, provided that at least 10 students enroll in the course. Dr. 
Harold Vincent II, URI Adjunct Professor,

Dear Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering students,

The first, organizational meeting of Spring 2009 course ELE 313 will be 
on Wednesday, January 21 at 10am in Kelley Hall room 218 (room used for 
ELE 202 and 215 labs). The course instructor is Dr. Harold Vincent II.

During that organizational meeting, several options for the semester

accommodates the greatest number of interested students. The following 
are the current time slots being considered, pending availability of a 
classroom and the course instructor:

(a) MWF 10-10:50am
(b) TR 8-9:15am
(c) MWF 8-8:50am
(d) Friday 2:30-4pm plus Wednesday 6-7 pm
(e) Two evening classes after 5pm, 1.25 hr each

If you are interested in taking the course, but cannot attend the 
organizational meeting on Jan. 21, please let me know of your interest 
in registering for the course by sending me an email: boud at ele.uri.edu, 
which contains a prioritized list of your top 3 or more choices for a 
time slot from the list (a)-(e) above. Please be as flexible as possible.

ELE 314 is tentatively planned to be offered this summer.

regards,
Prof. Boudreaux-Bartels
ECBE Department Chair

Dear Colleagues,

I just spoke with the Computer Science Department chair, and he said 
that there is a high likelihood that

will be added back to the Spring 2009 Course offering on eCampus. Some 
of you may have noticed that this course was recently deleted, but it 
should be reinstated soon. The course will be taught by CSC Prof. J-Y Herve.

If you are interested in taking the course, please keep an eye on 
eCampus for more information regarding registration, or contact the 
instructor email: jyh at uri.edu, phone 874 4400.

Dear ELE-313 Students:

 

Checking in e-campus, I see that we have 11 students registered, so it looks
like the course will run.

 

As we discussed at our initial meeting Wed 21 Jan, the first lecture will be
held this coming Tuesday 27 JAN, in Crawford Rm222, 5-5:50.  In preparation,
please read Chap 1 and Chap 2, Part A from the text Signals, Systems, and
Transforms by Jackson. (ISBN 0-201-09589-0)

 

I will provide a syllabus at that time.  Please contact me if you have any
questions.

 

Prof. Vincent
