Project is a tale of rediscovery that continues to this day. In 1903, Howard Carter – famous for finding Tutankhamen’s tomb in the 1920s – found the royal tomb and it was designated K60. In the burial chamber, a coffined mummy and one on the floor were found. The coffined mummy was removed and sent to Cairo. The chamber was then sealed and its exact location lost for nearly 80 years. Then in 1989, Ryan and his team found the tomb’s entrance using only a broom – on the first day of digging no less

the trash and figure out how much of it could have been recycled or composted. They also had to figure out the latent energy content of the trash, say if it were burned. The goal of the trash sort, which has been a regular feature of this class for about a decade, is to put the students on notice on just how much trash doesn’t need to end up at the landfill, said Barbara McConathy, PLU’s environmental services coordinator. “I think I want students to know that every bottle helps,” McConathy said

education and minimum wage. “We hope to provide a voice for the PLU student body to our legislators so they are informed of the passions of the people they are representing,” Stell said. About 20 students attended and actively participated by posing questions about and discussing the bills. Another online survey will be sent to the PLU student body in February to ask students to vote on which bills should be advocated on their behalf. In early March,  results of the survey will be made public through

freezing point of acetic acid and the odd phenomenon of super cooling. “It’s a good experiment if you want to test what you expect, and contrast that with what you really see,” Amend said, as the sample’s temperature plummeted to 1o degrees centigrade, only to rise to the expected level of about 17 degrees C.  The  new device allows both students and professors “to spend a lot more time thinking about what’s going on,” rather than waiting for the experimental results to occur, Amend said.

-Degree Engineering Program. In addition to math and science courses, students will complete an internship/industry experience and/or courses in business, economics, history and ethics. “Project-based learning is a different kind of learning than in-class learning and adds a different kind of value to a student’s degree,” said Bogomil Gerganov, associate professor of physics. “Internships and apprenticeships are extremely valuable training for future engineers, and students with such experience are
