Engineering and Technology Studies at Illinois

Just a reminder that the first movie, Radiant City, in the film series Movies Even an Engineer Would Love will be held to night starting at 7:00 pm in the Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum, 600 S. Gregory St., Urbana, IL.  A discussion will be held after the showing.

The Moss family calls it home. This look at urban sprawl through the eyes of one Canadian family also asks fundamental questions about design, planning, and technology. Covering topics from traffic and infrastructure to childhood, family, and ennui, it ultimately asks: How can we build sustainable systems that can grow gracefully as they age?
