Our well-attended RRC seminar unfolds every Friday of the Fall and Spring semesters, in the Grainger Technology Transfer Auditoria:
Maps and directions are available to help visitors find Madison, the Engineering Campus and the RRC seminars.
These are the most modern lecture halls of the College of Engineering (45K JPG). They are equipped with advanced visual aids including computer screen projectors for on-line demonstrations, expertly supported by Engineering Audiovisual Services. Talks are solicited from distinguished external visitors, and UW faculty and their graduate students specializing in rheology. It has become a rite of passage for these students to present an RRC seminar on their thesis, just before their formal thesis defense. Both graduate and undergraduate students can register for the seminar in courses crosslisted in Chemistry, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and in the Engineering Mechanics and Astronautics Program.
Visitors giving an RRC seminar normally arrive Thursday, then meet with faculty and students on Friday. In a time honored tradition, rheologists meet after each seminar for lunch, usually in Union South (on the southeast corner of Engineering Drive and Randall Avenue). The reserved lunch room number is posted near the entrances. Scientists and engineers in the Madison area are welcome to attend the RRC seminars.
Though there are few summer seminars, the RRC does meet at
noon every Friday for an informal lunch meeting in a reserved
room in Union South.
This annual award was inaugurated in September 1994. The award is bestowed for the best graduate student presentation in the RRC Seminar Series. The winner is presented with a plaque and a check.
