Event Description:
The first guest to join us this year for The Renaissance Season will be a true Renaissance man who has helped transform engineering education in North America and who will offer his challenging take on how to build an engineering school from scratch.
Dr. Mark Somerville is the Special Advisor to the Provost and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Physics at Olin College of Engineering in Needham, Massachusetts.
He also collaborates extensively with other institutions to spread change in engineering education, particularly through to application of collaborative design techniques to curriculum revision processes.
He has worked closely with other Olin faculty members to develop Olin's I2E2 Summer Institute, which draws engineering educators from around the world to examine how to educate a new king of engineer.
