The speed by which we now communicate continues to shape the world in unpredictable ways. Rapidly changing technologies have ushered in an age of “instantaneous communication” creating both exciting possibilities and new challenges. With a human population exceeding 7 billion people, sustaining an extraordinary quality of life for generations to come while protecting the earth and its resources is a shared challenge facing all of humanity. Issues arising from sustainability and the developing cyber-infrastructure have fueled changing demands in workforce skills. This talk will illustrate and engage students in activities that address the development of crucial workforce skills needed to face the challenges of the 21st century. These activities will set the stage for further discussion of current research projects.
