This past weekend we had the great pleasure of having dinner and drinks with Dr.Grandin, his wife and many IEP Alums and contacts. Dr.Grandin is very well accomplished and respected as he has founded the International Engineering Program and has been the director for the past 23 years. The program has gained many awards and is one of the most nationally recognized in the country blending Engineering and Language to cater to a global marketplace. It has served as a model to other Global Engineering programs but is quite strong with partner schools and business programs in countries speaking German, Spanish, French and Chinese. It was really refreshing to see what is possible and what opportunities await after graduating from this program. I still believe I want to pursue grad studies in Europe, but it was nice building up some connections.

Sunday was pretty productive. Laundry, research, and planning for Nürburgring. It was beautiful out so i decided to walk around camera in hand.
This is where the magic happens, BMW Forschungs- und Innovationszentrum (research and innovation center). This is just the front entrance which is about 1/14th of the actual office complex. The office complex is only about 1/3 of this BMW campus. It is a wonderful place to work. I am sad when the weekend rolls around because I have to wait until Monday to go back. Every day, a new adventure.
