Nam Pyo Suh: A Model for Multidisciplinary Engineering

This symposium honors Prof. Nam Pyo Suh, a researcher, teacher, and leader of extraordinary creativity. The theme of the symposium, multidisciplinary engineering, recognizes that contemporary technological problems are rarely solved through the tools of a single discipline. Rather, one must combine knowledge, techniques, insights and approaches from many traditional disciplines to create effective solutions to today’s problems. The multidisciplinary theme also highlights the wide range of Prof. Suh’s own work. In fact, one can view Nam P. Suh as one of the earliest multidisciplinary engineers.
