Our speaker, Dr. Cliff Davidson, will present the 'why' and 'how' of engineers' re-education on new local and global environmental concerns. Engineering, architecture, and urban planning work around the world is changing rapidly - instructors and students need to keep up with the changes and see how their work can be applied to make our society more sustainable.
About this speaker: Cliff Davidson is the Director of the Center for Sustainable Engineering, a partnership among Syracuse University, Arizona State University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Since the 1990s, Dr. Davidson has studied the role of engineers in sustainable development as well as public perception of technology and public understanding of the environmental impact of daily activities.
