A lively panel discussion with Rodrigo Costa, Pedro Ferreira, Assistant Research Professor of Economics of IT at the Heinz College and the Engineering and Public Policy Department at Carnegie Mellon University and an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Instituto Superior Tecnico, Universidade Técnica de Lisboa, Portugal, and Rahul Telang, Assistant Professor of Information Systems, will be moderated by Pradeep Khosla, Dean of the College of Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Please also join us for a reception in the Roberts Hall Atrium immediately following the keynote and panel discussion.
For more information or to RSVP, please go to http://www.cit.cmu.edu/alumni/leadership_series/04_19_2011/index.html. Space is limited, so please RSVP by April 13th.
The purpose of the Engineering Leadership Speaker Series is to raise the visibility of key issues through bringing industry leaders and government officials to campus for a distinguished talk and conversation with students, faculty, alumni, and community leaders.
We are a research/educational partnership between several top-rated Portuguese universities, and the Carnegie Mellon University. Students in any of our masters or Ph.D. programs (http://www.cmuportugal.org) take courses from professors in both locations; upon graduation they receive dual degrees. Faculty have interdisciplinary and intercultural research grants opportunities. For more information, please contact us at news@cmuportugal.org.
