Fifty years ago, Dean William L. Everitt wrote a visionary essay

about educating engineers “in the future.” His future was 2012. His

essay asserted that educating engineers means fostering innovative

minds—the ability to create and navigate a world that, at any given

time, we are only beginning to imagine.

The legacy of Illinois Engineering is one of creativity, leadership and

innovation. The featured speakers at this event will share their own

stories of shaping and participating in this legacy, and will invite you

to imagine into the future of engineering education at Illinois. y
