- Make planned proposal to Rackham outlining the plan for a Certificate program so that the Program could be started per Fall 2006.
Undergraduate students:
- Introduce an undergraduate overview course to OVPR for funding; cross–linked LS&A — Engineering; course of 24 to 35 lectures given by multiple M-NIMBS faculty (and possibly invited speakers) to start in Fall 2006
All levels:
