Olin College of Engineering

I don't know if I mentioned that I'm teaching Engineering Entrepreneurship at Olin. What a cool school! While the two course have existed at Olin, I was asked to re-invent them so to a great extent they are new.

Here's a blurb that appeared in the Boston Globe today that illustrates how different Olin is from many other colleges. It describes a course called "Engineering for Humanity":

"Created by Olin professors Caitrin Lynch, who teaches anthropology, and Lynn Andrea Stein, who specializes in computer and cognitive science, the course is in its third year with funding from a Healthy Aging grant from the MetroWest Health Foundation in Framingham. While Olin previously partnered with the Needham and Wellesley councils on aging, this year’s class involves seniors affiliated with the Natick Council on Aging." (from Boston Globe)
