CGTSPS has 2 Coffee Talks coming up! Come to learn, listen, and contribute your own opinions. We hope to see you there!*
Come and learn about Drexel’s most innovative in‐house laboratory. The Drexel Smart House project will deliver the home of the future. Innovative interior technology, lots of constant high‐tech monitoring, and a very energy efficient power consumption are only few of the many plus points of this project. Dr. Eugenia Victoria Ellis from the Dept. of Architecture and Interiors will talk about the project and the activities that her group has been carrying out and how will this project affect the industry and university.
