Dateline: Ambassador East, Chicago, IL
I left early this morning for the ASEE conference in Chicago. Delta got it right with all flights pretty much on time and limited frustration. I still get a little ticked at the escalator riders...come on, walk up and down those puppies and get a little exercise!
Arrive at the Hyatt Regency well in advance of my presentation, meet some colleagues, ate a bite of lunch, and then went on at 1415. I thought the presentation was pretty good, certainly a little different. Other presentations in the session were also excellent and I picked up some good information. I’ll attend some more sessions tomorrow and I moderate one session.
The Division chair pointed out that the division has been idle since about 2000 and this was the first meeting since then. Since I was first up I can say I was the first presenter of the newly revised Engineering and Public Policy Division. He also mentioned that he wasn't sure if this was a sign of renewed interest in the area or if there was just a backlog of papers that were ready to be published. I agree, I don't know.
Had a nice dinner at the Grand Lux.
