General
Open Forum is a casual opportunity to come together and discuss issues that matter to us. A student or other member of the Institute’s community speaks for about 8 minutes on any topic of their choice. PowerPoint slides are welcome but not essential.
After the presentation, participants ask questions and discuss the focus for the day. In the past, students have spoken about their research, social issues such as women in engineering, environmental issues, philosophy, new technology, etc. An abbreviated version of a presentation already given in class is perfectly fine!
We are asking presenters to indicate whether they would allow their presentations to be recorded for limited distribution among members of the Institute’s community. (Message from Prof. Kiyama, ToTAL)
