Update from Cherie:

Right now I am finishing up my senior design class and have used so much of what I learned last year.  I am working on designing a battery charger and discharger for the Texas A&M solar car.  I have found that this project closely parallels with the project that I worked with last summer.  I have found last summer's experience to be just what I needed to prepare me for this project.  I have had to talk to numerous companies, learn about several different instruments, give oral presentations and submit written proposals and also know who and when to ask for guidance in any situation.  I just wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you last summer and let you know that I did learn a lot.  My experience has helped me greatly in this project and I expect to use it in many other projects that I come across in the future.
