Introduce ISEN graduate students to research being conducted on current topics of interest to the profession.

A weekly emailing to each student will describe the forthcoming seminar, announcing the next speaker and the topic. Any unexpected cancellation will also be announced by email. In addition, announcements will be posted on the course website (above).

Each student is responsible for notifying the instructor if her/his email address changes. If for any reason a student does not receive a weekly email, it is his/her responsibility to check the web page for the weekly announcement.
