Come join one of our favorite Great Courses lecturers, Stephen Ressler (“World’s Greatest Structures” and “Engineering Failures”).

This semester, we'll learn about everything from satellites to a few of the simple machines and gadgets that surround us in our homes. We'll investigate cars, roads, bridges, tunnels and railroads, and the technological challenge of solid waste disposal. No background in science or engineering is needed to follow this presentation, just curiosity about the underlying simplicity of the complex systems that enhance our lives.

 

Instructors/Coordinators: Rick Hearn and Susan Hanna

Tech Coordinators: Paul Herrick and Ginger Barnhart
