KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Dr. Raymond Landis, Dean Emeritus of Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology at California State University, Los Angeles, will be the plenary speaker. Biography for Dr. Landis

 Dr. Landis has a deep-rooted background in engineering education. In the 1970's he founded the first Minority Engineering Program at CSU Northridge, and became a statewide leader in this area. Currently, twenty California engineering colleges operate MEP's based on his "community building/collaborative learning" model.

In the early 1990's Dr. Landis began a three-year NSF Curriculum Development grant "Improving Student Success through a Model 'Introduction to Engineering' Course." Significant outgrowth in this area lead to his text "Studying Engineering: A Road Map to a Rewarding Career." Since its publication in 1995, the text has been used by over 80,000 students at more than 300 institutions across the country.
