L'Université autrement : Dans les cafés crée des lieux de rencontre et les met à la disposition des citoyens intéressés à continuer d'apprendre ou d'approfondir leur engagement à la faveur de discussions publiques et collectives. Ces cafés permettent à des individus de divers horizons et réalités de se rencontrer, dans un cadre où tous les gens et toutes les perspectives sont les bienvenus.
The University of the Streets Café creates gathering places for community members to pursue lifelong learning and engagement in the form of collective discussions. They are an opportunity for people of diverse backgrounds and realities to meet, where all people and perspectives are welcome.
When engineers and computer scientists are launched into the ‘real world’, many take on positions where their everyday decisions can have significant impacts on the world around them. Feeling confident and ready for the job is essential but sometimes 'faking it' becomes the norm. What are the consequences for society if engineers and computer scientists are simply not ready? During this public conversation we will discuss what responsibility the university plays in transmitting best practice learning, the possible pitfalls of filling market-driven needs, and what role students play in ensuring they receive the best possible education.
Guest: Dr Fany Moustapha is director of Concordia’s Institute of Aerospace Design and Innovation (CIADI) and is a senior fellow and manager at Pratt & Whitney.
