Being aware that  guest speakers can provide a valuable new perspective on course material and enrich the class experience, we had made several attempts to invite guest speakers to our school for the noble purpose of promoting science , engineering, and techonology interest amongst our students. On October 4th, 2007, Clear Brook is  going to have the pleasure of featuring a talk from Dr.John Lienhard in the auditorium. All Engineering students are encouraged to attend.
