The Engineering Futures Colloquium Series, sponsored by HII, continued on campus this week! We welcomed Dr. Joseph Jewell, Assistant Secretary of War for Science and Technology, who gave the room a rare inside look at how the Department of War is thinking about the future of defense S&T, from hypersonics to battlefield biomanufacturing. The DoW is already experimenting with making shaped charges from volcanic rock and recycled plastic water bottles, cutting costs and time-to-availability. Dr. Jewell also walked through how government, academia, and industry have to function as a genuine team to move technology from the lab to the warfighter fast enough to matter. Engineering Futures will continue in Fall 2026. To get notified about future events, join our mailing list: http://eepurl.com/iqPjqs
