The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that runs from November 25 to December 10.

This year, we have a variety of activities and events that you can do or attend to learn more about gender-based violence and what you can do to address it on campus and beyond.  Please join us to help make Engineering more inclusive for people of all genders.

Whether we like it or not, whether we realize it or not, applications of Artificial Intelligence have quickly become a ubiquitous part of everyday life. The Google Maps we all rely on, your daily newsfeed, and the conversations you have with Alexa or Siri are all driven by AI. Some worry that over-smart AI-driven computers will one day control us, or that AI-driven social media apps threaten personal welfare, science-based truth and democracy.  Other observers maintain that AI will free people from mundane, repetitive tasks and rapidly facilitate rapid socioeconomic development.

Quantum Nano Collision Seminar Series: Professor Na Young Kim

Oscar Nespoli will provide a review of successful pilot programming where interdisciplinary teams of students were immersed in international practice settings, finding, framing and constructing problems during their coop terms, while being coached virtually by tutors on campus.  Q & A session will follow a brief presentation on the main findings and possible future work.
