This semester I am attending at least one class taught by our new electrical engineering professors but you are the ones in the seats each class. Your opinion regarding these professors and your courses are extremely important for the continued growth and quality of our department. I know this survey is long but please take the time to complete it within a week of receipt. I am extremely grateful.

Thanks,
Dr. Buford
