Next week will begin the first of a series of guest presenters on various geographic regions of the world. First in this series is Dr. James Litster, Professor of Chemical Engineering. I encourage you to check out his webpage and note his awards, honors, and research area. Aside from earning his BE and PhD degrees from University of Queensland, Australia, he also taught there for some time before coming to Purdue.
In preparation for his presentation, he has asked that you browse The Australian, the "biggest-selling national newspaper in Australia" according to Wikipedia, and be prepared to comment on an article from the paper. For your blog assignment, please find an article on engineering, business, Australian culture, or relationship with the USA, and prepare an original entry briefly summarizing the article and highlighting any connections with anything we have discussed in class over the last two weeks about engineering cultures, dominant cultural images, or anything you feel is relevant or connected to global engineering. Please include the URL of your article in the text of your post. You're welcome to use the same article as someone else, but please make sure your post contains original thoughts!
As always, the post, and any comments or responses you may choose to make, is due at 5:00pm on Sunday, September 18.
