STEM Education Series
Innovative Concepts in Engineering Design (ICED-T)
Support Public Talks by Designers and Developers CANCELLED March 3rd & 10th
The mission of ICED-T's Meet Ups is to create collaborative partnerships to accelerate innovation; and to promote competitiveness and economic prosperity. In the 21st Century when advanced knowledge is necessary for economic success our Philadelphia tech and academic community brings its scientific and technological insights to audiences for inspiration and motivation. The American Helicopter Museum and Bentley Systems are proud to provide these innovative STEM education presentations for students, parents, and teachers.
WED 19 FEB 3:45 PM ~ Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day & Advances in Biomimicry Design
After a short video commemorating National Engineers Week and an short talk by a Professional Engineer about careers in engineering; Dr. Fish will present an engaging tour of Advances in Biomimicry Design. He will discuss the energetics and hydrodynamics of aquatic locomotion by vertebrates. Dr. Fish, a faculty member at West Chester University, is well know in the field of biomimicry design has worked with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, National Science Foundation, and the Office of Naval Research.

CANCELLED MON 3 MAR DUE TO WEATHER ~ Ethical Decision Making in STEM
Science and engineering are at the forefront of economic development and positive environmental change and present concerns that range from conflicts of interest, to environmental impacts, and computer privacy. This informal presentation on the ethics of decision making in STEM will engage the public and the engineering community alike; and will a be a refreshing discussion for aspiring scientists and engineers. Dr. Powers teaches at the University of Delaware about the ethical responsibilities associated with being a scientist or engineer; and how the public perception of ethical decision-making in STEM is key for the future of our society.

CANCELLED MON 10 MAR DUE TO SCHEDULING CONFLICT ~ Beyond UAVs: Aerial Robot Swarms (Rescheduled)
After his first ICED-T was cancelled due to snow we are excited to host Prof. Kumar speaking about cooperative control of autonomous quadcopters. Prof. Kumar, a TED Talk presenter with over 2 million views, teaches at the University of Pennsylvania. He's the Deputy Dean for Education in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, "where he continues his work in robotics, blending computer science and mechanical engineering to create the next generation of robotic wonders."

Innovative Concepts in Engineering Design Talks (ICED-T)
The American Helicopter Museum and Educational Center has developed the ICED-T program series for middle school and high school teachers and their students to help them address the challenge of innovation in engineering design. This exciting pre-engineering program presents the 21st Century design challenges to public audiences to help increase their understanding innovation and to enhance student motivation to use engineering to make the world a better place for all. There is a $5 suggested contribution at the door to continue to bring you more interesting ICEDT's.
Directions to Bentley Systems, Eagleview Coprorate Center, Exton PA
The Eagleview Corporate Center is located approximately one quarter mile north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike exit ramp. Take a left at the second light north of the Turnpike onto Pennsylvania Drive (If you go under an underpass, you have gone too far.) In less than 0.3 miles (immediately past Universal Technical Institute on right), bear right onto Stockton Drive. Follow Stockton around (for roughly 0.5 miles) to the first stop sign and proceed through the intersection. Bentley Systems is located at 685 Stockton Drive, the first building on your left.
