Engineering the Future

Jonathan Wickert, dean of Iowa State's College of Engineering, will speak on how today's students can become leaders for a cleaner, healthier, safer, and more sustainable world. His talk is part of the Triangle Fraternity Last Lecture Series. Wickert, who has nearly twenty years of experience as a mechanical engineer, urges students to view engineering in its social context, as a creative profession that uses technology to improve people's lives. Wickert has served on the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University and Iowa State, as a visiting research fellow at the University of Cambridge and as a visiting professor at Helsinki University of Technology. His research has advanced the technology of high-density computer data storage and improved the design of automotive disk brakes and gas turbine blades.
