Come hear about the 5-credit study abroad course Engineering Jordan this Friday, January 29th at 2:30 in More Hall room 320.
Engineering is a global enterprise and water is a critical international issue. Students with international experience increase their marketability in the job force.
Engineering Jordan is a short-term (3.5 weeks) UW faculty-led study abroad course that is offered through the UW Civil & Environmental Engineering Department. The focus of the course is Water Engineering in an Arid land, and the course takes place in partnership with the Jordan University of Science and Technology. Dr. Heidi Gough has taught this course three times, and has extensive connections in Jordan. There are course options for graduate students, upperclassmen, pre-engineering, and (new this year) non-science majors. Past students returning who have taken the course rave about the learning and cultural exchange experience.
If you are interested in the course and can’t attend the information session, contact Dr. Gough (hgough@uw.edu) or visit the course canvas page

Dr. John Stanton
Bridges, a Tale of Scale: Bridges are a critical link in our transportation infrastructure, but they are often taken for granted. Perhaps to exact retribution, but to certainly remind us of their importance, one occasionally fails. In this presentation, we will look at some of the science and art that underlie bridge design and construction, and address some issues that constrain improvements and others that have led to major developments. Like many technological developments, progress has not been smooth and continuous, but rather has been driven by some specific intermittent discoveries, by changes in the demands of society, and by the genius and persistence of some remarkable individuals.
Light refreshments to follow lecture. No RSVP required.

Registration is now live for the Winter 2016 Leadership Firesides series! Read on to learn about the current upcoming speakers. More will be added in the upcoming weeks as well:
Leadership Firesides offer ongoing opportunities for students to engage in meaningful dialogue with a diverse range of civic, corporate and campus leaders in an informal setting. These leaders share their personal journeys and perspectives on leadership and become momentary mentors for students attending the event. The Firesides are a way for students to learn more about and reflect on leadership and build their leadership competence and confidence. The 2015-2016 Leadership Firesides series is focused on stories of resilience. Learn more here.
The next speaker is Deena Pierott, who has been an entrepreneur in many ways–but possibly is most well-known for founding iUrban Teen, an organization dedicated to expose male youth of color to the STEM fields. Deena was recently recognized by the White House as a Champion of Change for this program. While her program is most targeted at African American and Latino males, the program is inclusive of all youth. More information about Ms. Pierott can be found here.
