Industry Needs in Applied and Computational Mechanics

Tuesday, July 23, 4:30-5:30 pm, Room 110, Vancouver Convention Center

The panel will feature industry and lab R&D leads who will discuss needs and technical challenges, and what they would like to see the applied and computational mechanics community work on to address those. The panel format will be a one-hour discussion that will involve five panelists, two-to-three moderators, and a live audience. This event will also be a great opportunity for networking, exchange of ideas, and recruitment.
