ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conference & Computers & Information in Engineering Conference

Hello from Las Vegas.  I am here at the Rio https://www.harrahs.com/casinos/rio/hotel-casino/property-home.shtml for the IDETC & CIE conference http://www.asmeconferences.org/idetc07/.  The conference in great ASME www.asme.org style is filled with informative presentations on advancements in education and industry.  Taken from their website http://www.asmeconferences.org/IDETC07/ChairsMessage.cfm "The 2007 IDETC/CIE consists of record-breaking thirteen conferences. Twelve conferences are organized by various technical committees in the ASME Design Engineering Division and the Computers and Information in Engineering Division.

So if you are one of those lucky enough to be in attendance, please look me up.  Send me an email at melissa.thomas@autodesk.com.  I would love to meet with you and see how we can work together.  I am going to try to get some pictures while I am here.  That may prove most difficult because I left my camera at home. 

I should say to everyone " welcome back".  I know that most students and professors are back in class.  I hope to hear more about how you are changing education.  I am so excited about this year.
