Momentum – August 2024: Holly Potts, Instructor, Industrial & Systems Engineering

This month on Momentum, we talk with Holly Potts, Instructor for the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. She speaks with us about her study abroad class, Engineering Graphics, which she taught in Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) this past summer. The students really had a true hands-on experience, being able to see many of the structures they were designing.

From the founding of aeronautical engineering to the future of aerospace engineering, we've seen a lot of advancement in the Department of Aerospace Engineering's 90 year history. Join us for the ride!
