Rapid transit systems which have been built in the modem era represent investments in a mode of transport that nearly all other political, economic, institutional, and regulatory factors have been aligned to defeat. However, construction of a rail transit network does provide the opportunity to re-orient metropolitan area development in a manner which will take advantage of the travel efficiencies afforded by this transit mode and affect regional travel behavior and quality of life. -
Michigan State University College of Engineering Fall 2018
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING FALL 2018 Executive Partner Sponsor On behalf of the entire Meijer family and the College of Engineering at Michigan State University, we welcome you to the 25th Annual Design Day. Today represents the culmination of countless hours of collaboration, diligence and creative ingenuity. Meijer is proud to be the Executive Sponsor of this extraordinary program that showcases the talents of MSU’s engineering students, who will one day help shape the communities in which we live and the businesses in which we work. At Meijer, we applaud outside-the-box thinking because our history is rich with innovation and risk. During the Great Depression, our founders took a chance and opened a small grocery store – not unlike many other entrepreneurs. But they set themselves apart from the competition with a focus on their customers and an eye for innovation: shopping carts in 1938, automated conveyer belts in 1954, and the one-stop shopping concept in 1962 that has grown into a retail phenomenon. As the digital landscape continues to change, so will the importance of understanding science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Meijer is pleased to support the emerging leaders within the MSU College of Engineering and are excited for all of you – family, friends and faculty – to see what we see in this impressive group. Congratulations to everyone who helped make this year’s Design Day a success, especially the students who’ve worked so hard. Happy 25th Anniversary from Meijer and Go Green! Sincerely, Terry Ledbetter — Meijer Chief Information Officer 1018.294301-876806.LL Table of Contents: December 7, 2018 Welcome from our Executive Partner Sponsor: Meijer ................................................................................................................................. -
