SUMMARY:Performance:Adam Lenhart\, carillon: Celebrating the life\, legacy & music of SELENA QUINTANILLA PÉREZ
DESCRIPTION:Adam Lenhart performs a 30 minute recital on the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Carillon\, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons. The program celebrates the life\, legacy & music of Selena Quintanilla Pérez (1971-1995) as part of Lenhart's American Women Concert Series.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Lurie Carillon every weekday that classes are in session. During these recitals\, visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells\, or to level 3 to see the carillonist performing. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR:  Zachary Smith\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe chemical and petrochemical industries consume nearly 30% of global energy use\, nearly half of which is a result of chemical separations. A major opportunity exists in identifying more efficient\, productive\, and environmentally friendly processes that operate in a continuous fashion. One attractive possibility is membrane-based separations\, but significant materials limitations exist in designing membranes that can selectively distinguish between molecules with sub-angstrom differences in size and nearly identical thermodynamic properties. To survey these challenges and describe emerging opportunities\, a brief overview of the current state-of-the-art in membrane-based materials and applications will be presented. Next\, several design strategies will be presented on how to leverage pore structure and pore functionality to control separation performance. A particular emphasis will be placed on new materials chemistries with a focus on testing materials under complex gas mixtures and for extended periods of time. Microporous materials\, including polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)\, will be highlighted to demonstrate the many opportunities that exist for scientists and engineers to tackle global challenges in chemical separations today.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nZachary P. Smith is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT. He has been recognized with several awards\, including the DoE Early Career Award\, NSF CAREER Award\, ONR Young Investigator Award\, AIChE 35 Under 35 Award\, AIChE Kunesh Award for Separations\, and the North American Membrane Society Young Membrane Scientist Award. He was also awarded the Frank E. Perkins Award for Excellence in Graduate Advising at MIT. Prof. Smith serves on the Board of Directors for the North American Membrane Society and is an Associate Editor for Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research. He is a co-founder and Chief Scientist for Osmoses Inc.\, a startup company aiming to commercialize membrane technology.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Developing Educational Interventions Addressing the “Messiness” of Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Engineering textbooks have problems\, and those problems have problems. While they may be complex and time-consuming\, textbook problems are “tidy” in that they are well-defined\, closed-ended\, and decontextualized. In contrast\, the practice of engineering is “messy.” The design process is ill-defined\, modeling and analysis are open-ended\, and the engineered systems affect and are affected by society in positive and negative ways. In this talk I frame the messiness of engineering as an important part of the conversation about DEI in engineering. By exposing students to the messiness of engineering throughout their undergraduate education\, instructors can better prepare students for their careers\; help students to reflect upon their views and biases\; and present engineering as socially constructed\, instead of inherently upholding a white supremacist culture. I will then present the SHUTTLE Lab’s design-based research approach to putting some of this messiness back into engineering science courses. Specifically\, I will describe our work addressing the messiness of mathematical modeling. We are focused on the professional skill of engineering judgment\, and are simultaneously creating open-ended modeling problems\, studying emerging engineering modeling judgment\, and training faculty to notice and respond to their students’ displays of engineering judgment. \n\nBio:  Aaron W. Johnson is an Assistant Professor of Aerospace Engineering and a Core Faculty member in Engineering Education Research at the University of Michigan. His design-based research focuses on how to re-contextualize engineering science engineering courses to better reflect and prepare students for the reality of ill-defined\, sociotechnical engineering practice. Aaron holds a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Michigan and a Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, and was an instructor in Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. Outside of work\, Aaron enjoys collecting LEGO NASA sets\, camping\, and playing disc golf.
