Distinguished Speaker Series

The School of Engineering launched the Distinguished Speaker Series featuring eminent engineering scholars, scientists, and thinkers. These presentations are targeted to be visionary and inspiring to address the grand challenges that we are facing. Scopes of the seminar presentations range from broad interdisciplinary topics in engineering to recent outstanding scientific highlights and technological advancements in engineering disciplines.

The speakers who are shaping the future of various disciplines in engineering will spend one or two days discussing new research ideas with the faculty, researchers, and students. The School of Engineering endowment funds is used to sponsor the Distinguished Speaker Series.
