The wiki was new this semester, and I spent my free time trying to introduce it to the group in an efficient manner. We had to devise an entire structure for page creation, and a way to allow subteams to pass their work cleanly to the next semester. This also tied in well with my attemps to streamline assignments and grading for AguaClara. I created Assignments section in the wiki in an attempt to make it clear to students what was expected. I also spent a fair amount of time just reading through the wiki and deleting blank pages or moving pages that had been added in the wrong places, or helping team members learn how to use the wiki. The last aspect of the wiki I was heavily involved in was creating common pages for the team. I formatted the Home page, attempting to make it appear nicer, I tranferred many of the materials from the old website to the wiki, and I wrote a Technology Overview and ran an Events Outreach Calendar page.

The third aspect of my main contribution to the team this semester was through outreach. The outreach team did not have any engineers with team experience, so early in the semester they came to me with many technical questions. As the team shrank over the semester, I took on more regular outreach tasks. I have made two final posters, for the ESW conference and the EPA Science Forum, and helped edit/rewrite the hallway poster. I also took care of organizing and running numerous info sessions and demo plant demonstrations.
