Refreshments will be served at both lectures.

Disruptive Energy Futures
Wednesday, April 24, 2019
2–3 p.m.
Biodesign B105, Tempe campus [map]

Oil suppliers have more unsellable than unburnable oil; they are more at risk from competition than from climate regulation. Electricity suppliers too face a swarm of disruptors that will transform their business beyond recognition. As these two vast industries merge and as insurgents in both challenge incumbents, almost everything we thought we knew about energy is ripe for rapid and profound change.

Integrative Design for Radical Energy Efficiency
Thursday, April 25, 2019
8:30–9:30 a.m.
Biodesign B105, Tempe campus [map]

Energy efficiency is traditionally viewed as a pile of separate technologies to be added in order of increasing cost. Yet designing buildings, vehicles, and factories instead as whole systems can save several-fold more energy at several-fold lower cost. Examples spanning all sectors and virtually all applications even show that such “integrative design” can often make savings cost less as their quantity grows. Countries still building much of their infrastructure can more easily build it right than fix it later, so integrative design offers an extraordinary opportunity to stretch capital budgets by leveraging enormous supply-side savings.

A new pilot program, the Rising Dissertation Institute (RDI), is available for underrepresented (African American, Native American, Pacific Island and Hispanic) students who will begin a doctoral program in Fall 2019. This four day interactive workshop grew out of the successful Dissertation Institute (DI) that has been running for the past two years. The 2019 RDI will take place on Sunday, June 23 through Wednesday, June 26, 2019 on the University of California, San Diego campus. The Institute is funded by the National Science Foundation and hosted by Old Dominion University and Virginia Tech.

This is the last week of the semester. I know how busy (and stressed) you are. It’s one assignment and/or project after another with deadlines getting closer and closer.

I reached out for help to compose the “career tip” for this week. I hope that you find encouragement from the following motivational quotes.

Engineering Undergraduate Teaching Assistants (UGTAs) and ASU101 Section Leaders improve the educational experience of freshmen by including successful students like you in the classroom.  UGTAs/Section Leaders assist a faculty member in their program to engage students in exploratory and collaborative learning activities in a freshman-level class

The ASASU Council of Presidents is accepting applications for student positions on many university boards and committees across all campuses.

Review a list of available positions and apply online!

Both undergraduate and graduate students from all ASU campuses are encouraged to apply. Supplemental application materials (résumé/unofficial transcripts) must be submitted to dan.ashlock@asu.edu.

There is a shortage of students able to serve on the University Hearing Board during the summer – if that interests you please consider applying.

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until all positions are filled.
