A presentation of the major engineering challenges of climate change will be the subject of the next lecture at UCC on climate change and its implications for the future of society.
Owenroe Lemass, Lead Engineer & Project Manager, The Ecology Foundation will look at the solutions that are ready, those that are in research and development phase, and the critical bottlenecks in deploying appropriate technology in his lecture titled: "The Engineering Challenge Climate Change". The lecture will be delivered on Wednesday, May 20th at 8pm in Boole III Lecture Theatre.
Owenroe Lemass who holds a BEng in Mechanical Engineering and a master's in Renewable Energy Systems has worked in the semiconductor and pharmaceutical sectors. Prior to joining the Ecology Foundation, he worked at the Fundacion CIRCE, Spain where he undertook research in the areas of renewable and energy efficient buildings.
The Ecology Foundation, in association with Siemens Ireland and in collaboration with the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science, UCC, is presenting a series of lectures designed to educate and encourage undergraduate and graduate students to assess how they can play a role in meeting the challenge of tackling climate change. The lectures not only focus on the challenge of climate change, but also on the positive role science, engineering, innovation and business can make by addressing it.
The Ecology Foundation believes that the lectures will be of distinct value to all students, particularly to those studying engineering and business disciplines, and also to the general public.
The lectures are hosted by UCC as an extension of the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science 2009 Public Lecture Series and will run each Wednesday evening. Admission is free and all are welcome.
