Harvard Engineering

The April issue of the IEEE Spectrum featured the recently re-named Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the man who made it happen:  Dean Venkatesh “Venky” Narayanamurti.  With incredible energy and ingenuity, Dean Venky has been leading his colleagues to build up Engineering at Harvard.  He has to answer obvious questions:  How would Harvard make a mark in engineering with the mighty Massachusetts Institute of Technology just down the street? And why would Harvard, essentially a liberal arts college, want to do engineering anyway?  To learn about the man and his answers, read the Spectrum article.    The Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences has been the host of iMechanica.
