Spring 2012 Seminar Series

The Future of EES Graduate Seminar

All EES Members:

This session is called to brainstorm ideas to improve EES graduate seminar. Currently, the seminar is on a voluntary basis and has been adopted for many years. However, some limitations and weaknesses have been observed, and there is a strong call for making it a better one. There are proposals to abolish the seminar or to make it a mandatory course. There are also calls to use it for making it an EDGE course to strengthen our distant learning program. Financial resources to support the seminar are an important factor and an incentive for a coordinator is also critical. In short, there are many things that contribute to a successful seminar.

All EES members, both faculty and students, are cordially invited to this brainstorming session to share ideas and inputs. This is your seminar, so voice your opinions.
