Engineering Professors Have Their "One Shining Moment"

POSTED ON: April 18, 2016

On March 29, faculty from the Albert Nerken School of Engineering took to the stage in the Rose Auditorium to explain their research interests to students in Cooper's own version of "March Madness." With only a scant three minutes to describe their work to beat the buzzer, many of the professors discovered it wasn't such an easy task. In that spirit we put together our own "thrill of victory, agony of defeat" 3-minute highlight video to showcase the breadth, if not the depth, of the research work going on at the school.
