Professor Alex Slocum on Timoshenko, The National Bureau of Standards, and MIT - Ep 7

Om kurset

Alex Slocum comes by the lab before we head out to a talk. We chat about mentors, influential professors, and his early days at the National Bureau of Standards (now NIST). Alex takes us on his journey bouncing between MIT and "the Bureau", finally landing in building 35 at MIT. He talks about our sophomore design class, 2.007, a special project at the National Archives, and shares his thoughts on fixing things and moving us forward. Professor Dave Hardt drops in to clarify the record.
