DESCRIPTION:Prof. Hannes Bleuler    \nEngineering is about people! Whi
 le preparing my lectures and advising my PhD students\, I naturally came a
 cross many exceptionally creative figures. Most are of course famous and w
 ell known\, they developed « mainstream » science and technology. Some
  of these figures\, however\, have been quite forgotten\, maybe just becau
 se they were ahead of their time or otherwise did not fit into what was th
 en considered « Mainstream » . I will present some of these men and wo
 men\, their achievements and what they have contributed to today’s scien
 ce and technology.\n\nQuelques personnalités oubliées\nLes sciences de l
 ’ingénieur reposent sur un savoir accumulé depuis des siècles. En pr
 éparant mes cours et en suivant les recherches de mes doctorants\, je me 
 suis moi-même appuyé sur le travail d’innombrables scientifiques et in
 génieurs. Beaucoup d’entre eux sont bien connus et reconnus\, mais quel
 ques-uns et quelques-unes sont un peu tombés dans l’oubli. Ce cours ser
 a une tentative de leur rendre justice.\n\nProgramme :\n- Introduction by
