Spring 2011 Seminar Speaker Series
During the academic year, the Mechanical Engineering Department conducts a Seminar Series which is free and open to the public. One of the purposes of the seminar series is to broaden our students intellectually and to aid in their professional development by providing another connection with the world of industry and business; speakers are chosen from a variety of disciplines within Mechanical Engineering to generate wide appeal within the department. Refreshments are generally served before each seminar to give students and guests an opportunity to meet the guest speaker.
Unless otherwise noted, the reception will occur 30 minutes prior to the seminar. Please check back often as topics and posters will be added as the become available.
