One of my friends from Houston earned his M.S. in Future Studies while I was doing my M.A. One of the points he regularly made was that the future is multiple. One of the ways that the future is multiple, is that old, traditional, ways of life tend to continue along with the new.

STEM Outreach
One of the things that's important to me is engineering outreach. I've even created a Page for my blog listing engineering outreach events that I'm aware of. A few of them are events that I competed in during my education. Several more are events that I have volunteered at.
Earlier this spring, I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a Symposium honoring the 40th Anniversary of the Lunar Rover, as part of the Great Moonbuggy Race. The high school and college students asked the panelists a great many questions about their experiences on the moon and with the rover.

Engineering and Compost
Just in case anyone reading my previous blog post Got worms? wonders what composting and gardening has to do with engineering, here's the deal.
The National Academy of Engineering has developed a list of 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering in the 21st Century.
One of the challenges on the National Academy of Engineering's list, is Manage the Nitrogen Cycle.
