EAS 106 – Section C3 – Spring 2021 – Group 8

I find this topic interesting and the information that you get from this topic can be extremely helpful for the people who are in areas that lightning is common. You can also use this information to guide landscape architects to make sure a home is not struck as often and I find this idea interesting!

A very fun topic, Kristoff. I think your hypothesis and experiment are very logical, indeed we can take advantage of Newton’s 3rd law to figure this out. The research you did seems very thorough and explains your topic well, which is important for the integrity of your analysis. I think it’s very interesting how viscosity plays into this and I…[Read more]

Greetings Dong,

I really like how seemingly-random the question is for how specific it is, it’s really interesting when taking the role as a scientist to ask questions about specific cases, not just the grander scale questions so it’s really cool that you did that.

Indeed, the hypothesis is very logical and very adjacent to the subject of the…[Read more]

Theses suggestions are impressive! I should check these factors!

Thanks!

Hi Dong,

I agree with your hypothesis that the sea tide directly influences the water level of the Hudson River because they’re interconnected. It simply makes sense that sea flow affects the water level of the Hudson River.

However, I believe that another layer of complexity can be added by factoring the moon cycles and what part of the month…[Read more]

Hi Owen,

I really like how you further pursued your chief topic of interest and considered deeper questions about it. I agree that the issue of fires is critical to solve from the roots as its not enough to just put them out.

I definitely found it prudent and good that you recognized that there are a lot of variables related to the problem at…[Read more]

Question: How does the amount of force applied to the mixture of water and cornstarch affect the consistency of the mixture?
Hypothesis: When more force is applied to the mixture, the mixture will have the consistency of a solid. When less force is applied to the mixture the consistency will resemble that of a liquid.
How to test this…[Read more]

Hey everyone. I heard you guys are interested in meditation. I never was really into it but, I feel you guys will really enjoy it.

Hey Dong. I find it interesting you are also interested in the Architectural program. I heard it is extremely hard to enroll in it. However, I believe we can do it. Nothing is impossible in life.

Greetings Owen,

Very interesting interests you’re interested in there. Your project sounds so cool, I love hearing about senior projects since they’re always so practically applicable and creative.

I agree that learning EAS and geology is very useful because it can inform what designs we make and what we can either combat or take advantage of.…[Read more]

Hey Dong (and everyone else here),

Yeah, geology is super cool and volcanoes are fun.

I suppose it’s a theme in our group; I’m also into meditation but I don’t like active guides or anything. Just silence.

Good to meet you guys, looking forward to working together.

Hey Owen,

Yes, ME and robotics is awesome. I’m a freshman, and it’s too early to judge curriculum since I am still in my first year and we haven’t been in the building yet.

Indeed, looking forward to working and learning together.

Nitay

Yeah I’d be down to meditate together virtually if you’re comfortable with that haha.

I’ve been practicing sporadically for over a year, so it’s interesting to see how my practice has evolved.

It’s really paradoxical and powerful to simply do nothing and be with the flow of your conscious and the thoughts that come with it.

Do you utilize…[Read more]

Hi Owen,

So excited to hear your interests about meditation. I started practicing since lock down. Very helpful and extremely satisfying…

look forward to learn and work with you~

Best wishes,

Dong

Hey Nitay!

I’m also in Mechanical Engineering, it’s good to have a fellow ME.

What year are you in and how do you like the curriculum so far?

I’m also interested in robotics, however I’m not well versed in it haha.

Yeah I also understand the obligations we engineers have to the general public and the environment itself. It’s a very intertwined…[Read more]

Hey Kristoff!

It’s interesting that both of you are interested in architecture.

What types of buildings or structures are both of you interested in creating eventually?

Yeah erosion is a fascinating topic with a plethora of applications such as, relatedly, building erosion and methods to deter against it.

Here’s to a good semester!

Owen
