There is a new student chapter of the Engineering Society of Detroit forming here at Michigan Tech.
There will be an info meeting tomorrow (11/9) @ 5 pm in M&M 610.
Come learn about the Innovative Global Solutions Enterprise at our information Session:
Wednesday, November 8th, 5:00-6:00pm in MEEM 402.
IGS works to find solutions to problems facing areas in need. Currently, we are engineering a low cost ventilator for a hospital in Ghana and are in active new project development. IGS offers students the opportunity to apply skills to alleviating global problems and collaborating with teams locally and abroad with the possibility of being able to travel. Students in any major are encouraged to join! Fish tacos will be provided!
If you have any questions or are interested and unable to make it, email Nichole at nsmackey@mtu.edu.
REAC meeting will be held, November 7th at 7pm in Fisher 101.
Some key things to note:
- This will be the last chance/ day to sign up for our annual Fall field trip (Click Here for more deets & to sign up!)
- We will be having a special speaker, Derek Harter (an MTU Civil Engineering graduate), discuss works with Canadian Pacific Railroad and its Capital Investment Program (More details on this can be found in the attached flyer)
REAC looks forward to seeing you at 7 on the 7th! —–BTW: free JimmyJohn’s Subs and pop—–

HU 3400, Topics in Diversity Studies (Online, Spring 2018)
Looking is one of the most natural reflexes we have. We look at things and people all the time, but how often do we think about this daily action? How are we perceived by others? This class is designed to take a step back and understand how our gaze and how looking work, how it is engineered, how we can broaden our understanding of looking/ being looked at in order to be more sensitive to diversity surrounding us.
This course is on the HU/FA General Education list and also counts toward the Diversity Studies minor.
