Reminder: The Brunel Lecture on Complex Systems on Tuesday, Nov. 1 will be presented by Richard K. Miller, President of the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering. His talk, “From the Ground Up: A Comprehensive Systems Approach to the Redesign of Engineering Education,” will be at 4-5:30pm in Bartos Theater. (Reception from 3-4pm in the Lower Atrium.)
This talk will outline the motivations, inquiries and research, methods used, and results of building an independent college—such as Olin College—that aims to address the educational imperatives of the 21st century within a four-year undergraduate engineering program. Miller will also share some of the challenges involved in managing a project of this magnitude. More details available here.
