Today and tomorrow I am attending “Partnership for Sustainability,” one of two large conferences that OSPE puts on every year for people to gain continuing professional development hours. Professional Engineers need 15 hours a year, and I stand to pick up 10 from this conference.
The first class Friday morning was “Engineering Education in the 21st Century,” given by the Dean of Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, Carlo Montemagno, Ph.D.
Montemagno had no handouts but gave a good presentation and knew his material.
Cynthia Tsao, Ph.D. in the College of Engineering at UC, gave “Lean & Green Construction: A Primer on Lean Project Delivery and How It Supports Sustainability.”
Each Friday attendee to the conference was allowed to choose two tours. The two titles that appealed to me were “Modern IT for Workplace Connectivity” and “Solar House.”
The last lecture of the morning (the tours were in the afternoon) was “Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure.” Dr. Arthur Helmicki, PhD from the College of Engineering at UC introduced four lecturers, none of which had their names in the speaker notes and one of which I couldn’t hear during the introduction.
