COUNCIL MEETING
0900 – 1530 Friday July 1, 2011
InterContinental Hotel, Mexico CitySummary Minutes
Draft October 22, 2011
OPEN SESSION
1. The President welcomed all and asked that each person identify themselves. Dr. Koizumi (EAJ) thanked the
CAETS Member Academies for their expressions of sympathy and support in the wake of the earthquake and
injury to the nuclear reactors and also remarked about the disaster.
Following the disaster, we returned to basics to guide our way of thinking. For
example, does materialistic prosperity ensure happiness or well-being? What is
most important to us as human beings? What is the final destination of
engineering - the true objective of engineering? We are again taking a good look
at “Human Security and Well-Being.”
