This is an undergraduate research class that students and professor will work together on a fun project. The goal of the project is to have a prototype working at the end of the semester. A web site has been reserved for the project to run. The web site is www.edatamirror.com.

The class will meet about once a week. The meeting time is very flexible, but we will try to meet every Monday night or Wednesday night or Friday night at 8:30pm at SCI 311. We will use Internet heavily to access this project class. Our discussion group will be under discussion group and ftp server will be at www.edatamirror.com. Userid and password will be given in the class. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE WITH ANYONE outside of the class. Also, please use this web site as the source for most updated information such as schedule, additional info, etc.

Please do not discuss the content of the project with people outside of the group as well. We might write a patents or two when the project ended.

Approach Of the Class
