What's Hot in Engineering: A Look at the Next 25 Years

Do you know that surgeons can now make a computerized "you" before they ever make an incision in your skin? Of course, you know that electronics uses electrons to move pieces of information around. But did you know that research in the new field of photonics suggests that we can process information using bits of light that will make electronic systems even more powerful? Do you know that new energy technologies are on the horizon that promise to revolutionize the ways we generate electricity and fuel transportation systems? Join James Plummer, Dean of Stanford's School of Engineering, and Channing Robertson, Senior Associate Dean, for an exciting and stimulating afternoon exploring bioengineering, nanotechnology, energy and the environment, and photonics. Both Professors Plummer and Robertson are outstanding teachers and public speakers, and their visually-rich presentations never fail to fascinate audiences and stimulate lively conversation. This is your chance to hear where two of Stanford's premier engineers think we are heading in the next 25 years. Don't miss it!
