Quarterly PHENND Meeting: Engineering and Community Problem-Solving (Oct 1)
Drexel University, 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM
University Crossing
15 N. 32nd or 3175 John F. Kennedy Blvd.
(building is on corner and has two entrances)

The Quarterly PHENND Meeting is a chance for the entire PHENND Network to get together to share ideas, events, difficulties, etc. It is also a time to hear from the PHENND Staff about our activities and opportunities for partnership. We have been quite busy so I do hope you will make the meeting.

The theme for this meeting will be engineering and community problem-solving. Engineers approach problems in particular ways, yet many of us in the nonprofit and educational communities know little about these methods. We will hear from a panel of community organizations representing different issues facing our city, as well as engineering faculty representing different disciplines, in the hopes of finding common ground between the two worlds. The eventual outcome will hopefully be partneships between engineering programs and community based organizations.
