Christians in Engineering & Technology Announcements Newsletter March 2005 Contents: - CEEC 2005 Dinner - Conference: The Role of Engineering at Catholic Universities - About this email distribution --------------------------------------------------------------------- CEEC 2005 Dinner ================ George Fox University will be hosting the next CEEC event, during the week of the ASEE conference in Portland, Oregon. We will be continuing the tradition of a dinner and conversations in the years in between our regular conference events. Please mark your calendar for Wednesday evening, June 15, 2005. The cost is expected to be around $20. We will have a couple vans to provide transporation from the Portland Convention Center to George Fox University (and back). If you are driving yourself, it is about 25 miles from downtown Portland. More details will be available next month, including maps, schedule, and a registration/payment form. If you have specific questions, you can contact Lynn Scott at lscott@georgefox.edu or call (503)554-2710. Conference: The Role of Engineering at Catholic Universities ============================================================ This conference for the first time seeks to provide a forum where the role of engineering at Catholic universities can be explored from the unique perspectives of engineering faculty and students, humanities faculty, and engineering graduates from Catholic universities. The conference will be held at The University of Dayton, in Dayton, OH, Sept 22-24, 2005. The conference intentionally addresses Catholic universities precisely because particularity helps focus discussion. Perhaps the word "Catholic" really ought to be read as "catholic" (which is to say "universally Christian"), since the problems and opportunities that face Protestant institutions are analogous to those facing Catholic universities and differ greatly from those encountered in a purely secular context. Of the 21 schools of engineering specially invited, 13 are Catholic and 8 are Protestant. Faculty of all faiths are encouraged to submit papers and participate in discussion.
