| Description: | Presidential Lecture at Northwestern University by Alice Agogino. Alice Agogino addresses the following, and other questions, in the context of three recent U.S. National Academy of Engineering reports, focusing on strategies for education and skills needed to meet the demands of our "flattening world." What are the major technical and sociotechnical challenges we will face in the "flat," or increasingly globalized, world of the 21st century? How will industry respond? What are the implications for higher education in engineering and across the academy? When will we have achieved gender equity in higher education? |
