Green Government Summit

Committed to Sustainability: Green Government Summit Less Than a Week Away!
From water conservation and climate change to electric cars and energy efficiency – sustainability has moved from concept to implementation. California government is leading the way - and in many cases, sustainability is either being mandated or highly incentivized. The 2010 Green California Summit, the largest green government conference and exposition, is taking place at the Sacramento Convention Center March 15-17. March 15 is a pre-Summit day with in-depth full-day workshops and other special events. March 16 & 17 are the Summit and Expo dates.
The Green California Summit is the place to learn directly from the policy makers, government agencies, facilities managers, architects, engineers and product suppliers what the path ahead looks like and how to make the most of what’s coming. Educational sessions will cover topics ranging from California’s new green building codes, to plans for a “smart grid,” to the proliferation of green business incubators throughout the state.
The Summit, now in its fourth year, will feature over 200 exhibitors, and more than 6,000 attendees are expected. The March 16 program will include the fourth annual Green California Leadership Awards, an event that acknowledges projects exemplifying the best of green California.
"Protecting our environment is one of my administration's top priorities,” said California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, “and I know that the steps being taken at this conference will help us succeed in our efforts."
Join with state and local government officials, green tech companies and organizations to discover your part in the greening of California. Group discounts available; keynotes and exhibition are free to registered attendees. For information and to register, go to: http://www.green-technology.org/gcsummit/ or call Eric Rennie at 626-577-5700.

Civil Engineers are Ingenious Again ...

This summer, several of us faculty met and discussed about the Vision, Mission and Educational Objectives of our Civil Engineering Department. It is always exciting to look back at the origins, to look for a future direction, to assess where we are and to envision where we would like to be: 10, 15, 20 years from now. And yes, we even went back to the meaning of the word ENGINEER ... which has its origins in the Latin word INGENIUM, meaning “innate quality, especially mental power, hence a clever invention.” This is why in many foreign languages "engineer" starts with an "i", e.g.: ingeniero (Spanish), ingénieur (French), ingenieur (German) and the list goes on. So in our process of searching for a vision, we first rediscovered the meaning of the word engineer: INGENIOUS. How would you like to study Civil Ingenuity instead of Civil Engineering? The next step was to formulate a mission and educational objectives - the things that we would like you, our students,
