Limiting in-person contacts is a critical part of suppressing the possible spread of infection. A virtual meeting solution has been devised to conduct the meetings (click here for instructions). It is imperative that prior notice to attend the next teleconference be given to the Department as soon as possible, with an 18-hour minimum (by Tuesday 3 p.m.). The Department of Engineering is always available to field your questions and concerns via our regular contact avenues.
