Talk Title: Engineering for the 21st Century: Future of Engineering Practice and Education
Abstract: Rapidly changing needs and priorities of the world; sustainable energy, access to clean water, better urban infrastructure, are redefining the role of engineering in the society. At the same time, an array of powerful global forces, emergence of global knowledge economy, fast evolving technologies and growing importance of technological innovation, are profoundly changing the nature of engineering practice. To meet the technological needs of the 21st century society, engineers will have to acquire far broader skills then simply the mastery of scientific and technological disciplines.
In my presentation, I will talk about the teaching strategies I employ inside and outside the classroom to not only give the students technical depth but also instill the broad traits necessary for them to become successful engineers and contributors to the society.
Biography: Dr. Maqsood A. Chaudhry earned B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan in 1978, his M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from California State University, Fullerton in 1982 and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Irvine in 1989. He has over 25 years of teaching experience at California State University, Fullerton and at the University of California, Irvine combined, and has taught a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate courses in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Computer Science Departments. He has also consulted for several engineering companies. He received several teaching awards, honors and recognitions, such as the Distinguished Engineering Educator Award by the Orange County Engineering Council and the Boeing A. D. Welliver Fellow. At California State University, Fullerton, he received an Outstanding Faculty Recognition, the Mentor of the Year Award and the Instructor of the Year Award in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, in the College of Engineering and Computer Science.
