Distinguished Lecture Series
Western Engineering’s Distinguished Lecture Series began in January
2004, as an exciting launch of the 50th Anniversary celebrations,
commemorating the establishment of the Department of Engineering
Science at The University of Western Ontario. In our initial year
(2003 – 04, with all visits being in winter and spring of 2004), we
welcomed Bjarrni Tryggvason, CSA Astronaut to start the series as a
joint Anniversary celebration for Engineering and a 125th
Anniversary celebration for our university. Our other distinguished
guests were: Milorad Dudukovic, Distinguished Professor from
Washington University; Robert T.E. Gillespie, Chairman and CEO of GE
Canada; Francesc Giralt, Distinguished Professor, Universitat Rovira
i Virgili (Spain); and Alan Macnab, President of the Geo-Institute,
The American Society of Civil Engineers.
The lectures are
open to all faculty, students (graduate and undergraduate) and staff
of Western Engineering. Members of The University of Western
Ontario and London community are also invited to attend.
