91探花

Dr. Colin Wightman, candidate for Chair of Engineering at 91探花, will be giving a campus wide presentation on Wednesday, December 4 at 12:30 pm in McDougall Hall, Room 243. The title of his presentation is "HEATING UP THE COOL SOUNDS - IT IS NOT JUST JAZZ ANY MORE!!" Engineers have a special responsibility to use technology wisely in service to the needs of humanity. This talk explores how the development of a simple technology for a third-world problem required two hundred years of research and how that technology is now advancing to address the very modern problems of economic and environmental sustainability. Presented without writing equations, this talk is appropriate for anybody interested in how engineers can use curious phenomena to make life better. Everyone is welcome to attend.
