#UVMSTEM Join us on twitter for UVM Engineering Week’s Voices of Engineering, let us know about an engineer who inspires you #UVMSTEM

[UVM STEM @UVMSTEM]

We would like to send a huge thanks to the Aiken Challenge an endowment created by George and Lola Aiken and held annually at the University of Vermont for supporting UVM's 2020 Aiken Engineering Week! #UVMSTEM

[UVM Computer Science @UVMCompSci]

Everyone in the Department is thankful for John and excited for the lecture tonight. #UVMSTEM!

6-7pm, 4th floor of the Davis Center: 2020 UVM Aiken Engineering Week Public Lecture by John Cohn on The Joy of Making Things https://t.co/dc2luhtdbp

... Yes, there will be snacks.

[UVM STEM @UVMSTEM]

John lives with his family in a restored 19th-century schoolhouse in Jonesville Vermont and is eager to share his love of science and technology with anyone who will listen.

Voices of Engineering #6: John Cohn is a Fellow at IBM where he is the Chief Scientist for the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab in Cambridge Ma and is a Distinguished Visiting Scholar in UVM CEMS John is active in education issues at a local, state & national level #UVMSTEM #JohnCohn (1/3)

[UVM STEM @UVMSTEM]

He is so passionate about promoting STEM careers that he spent 59 days living and inventing in an abandoned steel mill as part of Discovery Channel’s technical survival show “The Colony”. #UVMSTEM #JohnCohn (2/3)

[Daniel T Citron @citron_daniel]

@juniperlov @LHDnets @UVMSTEM Claude Shannon, for the breadth of his interests and vision. He formulated a mathematical understanding of information. Also he liked to juggle and formulated a mathematical law of juggling.

Ochoa became the first Hispanic woman to go to space in 1993. This legacy continued and she went to space four more times logging nearly 1,000 hours in orbit! #UVMSTEM #EllenOchoa (3/3)

[UVM STEM @UVMSTEM]

Voices of Engineering #5: Ellen Ochoa is an engineer, a veteran astronaut, and the 11th director of the Johnson Space Center (JSC). #UVMSTEM #EllenOchoa (1/3)

[UVM STEM @UVMSTEM]

Ochoa served as a research engineer at Ames Research Center and later she became JSC's first Hispanic director and its second female director. #UVMSTEM #EllenOchoa (2/3)

[UVM STEM @UVMSTEM]

As CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA, she has introduced many great STEM initiatives, including a series of new badges in robotics, coding, engineering, and cybersecurity. #UVMSTEM #SylviaAcevedo (3/3)

[UVM STEM @UVMSTEM]

Voices of Engineering #4: Sylvia Acevedo is a world-famous engineer, businesswoman, and executive. But one of her most amazing contributions to STEM has been through her role as CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA. #UVMSTEM #SylviaAcevedo (1/3)

[UVM STEM @UVMSTEM]

Forbes magazine named her one of the "America's Top 50 Women In Tech." She trained as an industrial and systems engineer and worked at NASA and was involved in Voyager 2's flyby of Jupiter! #UVMSTEM #SylviaAcevedo (2/3)

[UVM STEM @UVMSTEM]

Shannon was known to be quite the trickster and was remembered as riding the hallways of Bell Laboratories on a unicycle while juggling! #UVMSTEM #ClaudeShannon (4/4)

[UVM STEM @UVMSTEM]

Voices of Engineering #3: Some people call Claude Shannon the father of information theory. He was an American mathematician, electronic engineer, geneticist, and expert tinkerer. #UVMSTEM #ClaudeShannon (1/4)

[UVM STEM @UVMSTEM]

These inventions are very important and used daily to better design and understand computer hardware and software, telephone networks, and other complex systems. #UVMSTEM #ClaudeShannon (3/4)
