What is Plus 3?

To all my non-Engineering non-CBA Pitt friends, my non-Pitt friends, my family, random passersby:

This is my journal for the Plus 3 trip to Germany. It's called Plus 3 because it is a 3 credit course for two weeks in one of four countries - Brazil, Chile, China, or Germany. It's open to Engineers and Business freshman students, and we spend two weeks touring the sites of the country, while also taking site tours of businesses. We get to experience how business and engineering is done in these countries, and have to give a little report on a specific business when we get back in the fall.

This journal will be updated during the trip (May 3-17, 2008). Check back to see what I'm up to.
