Lectures to examine how technology today can change tomorrow

McMaster's Engineers Without Borders is hosting a lecture series about appropriate technology for sustainable development and minimizing consumption habits.

The first lecture will be presented on Thursday, March 10 by Bob Hudspith who will discuss the appropriate-technology movement. Hudspith is a former associate professor and director of the Engineering & Society program at McMaster University.

The lecture will take place in MDCL Rm. 3020 at 7 p.m., (refreshments at 6:30 p.m.).

The second lecture, on Wednesday, March 23, features Bob Korol, professor emeritus, Faculty of Civil Engineering, McMaster University.

He will discuss the need for conservation and minimizing our consumptive habits.
