After sending my post on industry and the academy I received this invitation from the College of Engineering at UCSB. I can think of no clearer refutation of Reid Cornwell's criticisms of the university, and no clearer demonstration of the university's ties to industry. Note that I was asked to invite others: I hope some of you can come!
