Engineering a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow
Mark Budnik, Ph.D. (Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering)

As the global population grows and our resources continue to shrink, engineering still holds the promise of a great big beautiful tomorrow. But only if we can decide what that tomorrow will be.
