The scene: You are 25 years into your career as faculty, dean, chair, provost or president at your dream university.
--> What does Engineering look like?
--> What changes have been implemented?
--> What does the student body look like? How are classes taught?
Undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students are encouraged to submit a 90-second video where you creatively explore these topics. The winning video will be shown at the 2019 ASEE Annual Conference in Tampa and the winning team (up to two people) will win a trip to the conference, along with $3000. More details at the 125th Anniversary Website.
