Bridging the World Through Engineering

Engineering has driven innovation through centuries from ancient cultures to today's highly connected, "face-book, iPhone" cultures. In addition to bridging the world over time, engineering has also bridged the world across virtual and physical boundaries. A product of multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary exposure herself, Zarina Stanford will discuss the role of engineering in today's diversed but connected world, with a special focus on Asian and US contingencies.
