>Dear Colleagues;
>
>On behalf of Bourns College of Engineering, I would like to invite 
>you to attend "Doing What's Right With What's Left," our third event 
>in this year's Distinguished Lecturer Series featuring engineer and 
>inventor Wally Rippel at 3 p.m. Wednesday, April 23 in 205/206 EBUII.
>Mr. Rippel will discuss issues of oil depletion and global warming, 
>and the most and least promising solutions to them.  He will provide 
>a unique perspective to these issues because, throughout his 
>engineering career, he has advocated battery electric power 
>vehicles. As an inventor Wally has been awarded 24 patents. His 
>career in electric propulsion began as a Caltech engineering 
>student, when Rippel's electric-powered Volkswagen Bus narrowly 
>defeated an MIT vehicle in an historic 1968 cross-country race. He 
>was an engineer at AeroVironment where he helped develop General 
>Motor's EV1 and was featured in the 2006 documentary, Who Killed the 
>Electric Car? Wally was also closely involved with the development 
>of the Tesla Roadster, a fully electric sports car which entered 
>commercial production last month. He is now at AC Propulsion which 
>he founded in 1992 with Alan Cocconi. A flier with more information 
>about this event is attached.
>
>A flier with more information about this Distinguished Lecture is 
>attached.  A reception will follow his presentation in room EBU 232.
>
>PLEASE NOTE that seating for presentations in the Distinguished 
>Lecturer Series is limited. You can reserve a seat to hear Mr. 
>Rippel's presentation by calling Jim Dexter at 951-827-2532 or email
