	I am an Undergraduate student in the Electrical Eng. College of the 
University of Texas at Austin.  Although I am more interested in the higher
level Computer Engineering aspects, I am currently studying analog circuits 
in our 2nd year EE Lab.
	Some advise on how to make the most of this course would be highly
appreciated.  Specifically, I have some flexibility as to what my partner and
I will build for our design project.  I would like to build something that
hasn't been done repeatedly.
	The types of projects that are listed in our Lab Material are devices
such as wireless FM microphones, electronic thermometers, and voice scrambler/
descramblers.  All of which have been built previously (ad nauseum).
	A project that I've been thinking about is to built an optoelectronic
device that can sense vibrations off of glass.  I don't know enough about 
optoelectronics to know how feasible it is to construct a laser (or other) 
sensor that can respond to these vibrations.
	If anyone reading this posting has any comments on how a laser might 
be used in this sense or has any suggestions on other projects I might consider
please send me Electronic Mail:
				arthur@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu

	Also, I am working on a report on Oscillators (and the piezoelectric 
effect).  If anyone reading this posting knows of any recent developments
regarding Oscillators or the piezoelectric effect, PLEASE tell me.  
Additionally, recommendations of good sources of information on these topic 
would be very much appreciated.


	Thank you,
	Arthur X. Nghiem
