		In his continuing effort to enhance the undergraduate experience, Dr. Richard Corsi, professor of environmental engineering, entertained his CE 319 class May 1 with his original song "The Ballad of Bernoulli." Bernoulli's Law, one of physics' basic equations of fluid flow, served as a guiding principle throughout the course, but Corsi's 15-minute ballad featured each of his 32 students as well. Corsi's acoustic guitar and customized folksy ballads have become a tradition at the conclusion of each of his undergraduate classes. http://www.engr.utexas.edu/news/action_shots/pages/corsiBallad.cfm
