a conference for
graduate students,
faculty, and
professionals

We live in a world increasingly shaped by technology, and the pace of change is quickening, in communications, biotechnology, computing, and elsewhere. Engineering undergirds transformations in everything from agricultural production and manufacturing to transportation and electronics. But the public's fascination with technology is tempered by growing debate over technology's unintended consequences. In this environment, Christian engineers face unprecedented opportunities and challenges. The Engineering & Technology track at Following Christ offers a unique forum for exploring these issues.

We will focus on the pursuit of the discipline of engineering and technology from a Christian perspective. Delegates will engage several questions, including:

• What world view is expressed by the core practices and ideas of our discipline?

• What are the responsibilities of Christians regarding the development of technology? How are we accountable to God and our communities for the effects of our innovations?

• What might be the outworkings of a Christian worldview in the practice of engineering? Could there be such a thing as "Christian engineering"?

• What does it mean that Christ has called us into the university and the discipline of engineering? What does he have for us here?

The track presenters and group discussions will consider these crucial topics with the goal of encouraging all of us to explore more deeply the implications of following Christ as engineers and scientists.
