[Home]ProfessorCardenas

Cool prof. She's teaching E82 (Chemical and Thermal Processes) this semester. Has a very enlightened attitude towards exams.

Alas, she is on sabbatical this semester (Fall 2002), and all the engineers in E82 must deal with ProfessorSpjut instead.


Quotes:

   E82, Spring 2002
"Engineers, being engineers, figured out a way to write P*V=n*R*T without R."

  Prof. Cardenas: "Think like an American engineer. What are the units for volume?"
