"Evolution of Technology"

October 16, 2017 @ 4:00 pm in TCCW 201

Abstract

I will trace the evolution of technology I have seen in the course of my lifetime, starting with the technological revolution that began in the early parts of the 20th century and has continued through the 21st century, ending with the recent final moments of the life of NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft. Along the way, I will describe some of the programs I have been involved with, discussion the challenges I faced and overcame as a woman in science and engineering.
