Dr. Cynthia Furse, Professor, Electrical & Computer Engineering and co-founder of LiveWire Innovation presented a talk for ARCS members and guests on smart phones. Dr. Furse along with Dr. Mike Scarpulla is teaching a new course this year using the smartphone as a launching point for explorations into all sorts of engineering and technology: electromagnetics, materials, signal processing but also exploring the many connections to behavioral, international, ethical, and social issues. The smartphone is where science and technology meet the rest of human existence. Cindy brought examples of cell phones to remind us of how much the technology has changed in just a short time.
