Presentation Abstract
On the 125th anniversary of the IEEE, the Columbus Section has invited two vibrant speakers to take us on a journey of technology. Dr. Geselowitz is going to explore the foundations of the organization and its parallels to the technologies that its members have used to change the world. After exploring where we've come from, we will take a look into the future of engineering with Dr. Graham. This very special joint presentation will be an amazing journey in technology and a great way to celebrate our profession, past and future.
