Igert faculty participates in UT minority Introduction to Engineering (MITE) program
Dr. Corsi experiments on a lemon Drs. Atila Novoselec and Richard Corsi, along with several of their graduate students recently hosted 100 MITE high school students in their indoor air quality laboratories. MITE students learned about instrumentation for measuring indoor air pollution, and the types of indoor air quality research activities that undergraduate and graduate students are currently involved with at UT. They even got hands-on experience related to measurement of chemical emissions from consumer products (from limes to perfumes), the use of thermal manikins to simulate air flow around human bodies, and the chemistry that occurs around the human head.

More information about the MITE program can be found at: http://www.engr.utexas.edu/eoe/mite/
