Dr. Stephen Jones Speaks To U-City Students!
05 March 11 by Christine Stone (A&H)
On Saturday, March 5th our school hosted a guest speaker from Villanova University. Dr. Stephen Jones talked about engineering, making new inventions, and the process it takes to make and market new inventions. Also, Dr. Jones was promoting education. He wanted to let us know that there are over 70-Billion-Dollars available in scholarship money every year from several sources. One of these sources in local universities them-selves.
Dr. Jones is a graduate of University City High School’s Class of 1977. He went on to earn two Masters Degrees and a PhD. In his current po-sition he oversees the instruction and curriculum program at Villanova and he is the Dean of the En-gineering Department.
The students were engaged, during his presentation, in a Business Creation Exercise. They worked together to come up with a product or ser-vice. They also made a list of ten things that were new inventions in their lifetimes. Some of the stu-dents even came up with their own ideas and inven-tions. Despite the chatter of some students, others came up with brilliant ideas and terrific questions. For example, Taalibah Chamblis came up with the idea of a touch screen table that would be compati-ble with a laptop. In conclusion, engineering and inventions are important in today’s society because everyone depends on them!!
