Faculty
Welcome, and welcome back.
The BTU Lab exists to facilitate as much student, faculty and staff coursework, research and experimentation as possible. We support as many as 7000 coursework hours per semester.
Because of this incredible demand, expectations for students, including yours, and faculty are covered in a series of brief, mandatory, one-time orientations.
In addition, for faculty, this page is set up to help you identify needs for yourself and your students and to direct you to the necessary next steps for the our collective success.
As always, if you have any questions please contact me at "zaja9653@colorado.edu". Welcome, and welcome back, to the ATLAS Institute and the BTU Lab.
Zack Weaver,
Assistant Teaching Professor, ATLAS Institute
Director, BTU Lab
