However, many of our\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ncurrent technical challenges are also coupled with complex legal, societal and policy issues; these problems will best be solved by engineers who are also conversant in the language of policy (and may be in collaboration with scholars who have a background in policy or law).\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThere are few better places to truly learn about public policy than our nation\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Prof. Parker goes to DC: The Role of Engr. in Public Policy","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Prof. Parker goes to DC: The Role of Engr. in Public Policy"}],"uid":"27187","created_gmt":"2009-10-12 20:37:38","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:47:30","author":"Anita Race","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2008-11-13T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2008-11-13T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2008-11-13T11:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2008-11-13 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2008-11-13 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2008-11-13 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"626","name":"public policy"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003ERona Ginsberg\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESchool of Mechanical Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:Rona.Ginsberg@me.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EContact Rona Ginsberg\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-3214\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
