Posted on October 23, 2020October 26, 2020 by Carol Johnk

SCI-FI FLIX!
FACTS OR FICTION?

Come Join Us
And Discover the Truth!

 

 

You are watching the latest Sci-Fi movie and something happens and you know that it is impossible. And you really want to talk about how impossible it is – right? Well, now you can!

Join us for Sci-Fi Flix in November!! Sci-Fi Flix will happen on two Sunday evenings! This is your chance to watch a movie and hear what the experts say about the engineering, technology and science! You’ll have the chance to ask questions and comment, too! The movies will be streamed over Zoom and College of Engineering faculty will provide expert commentary through the movie (good and bad). 

Sunday, Nov 1st at 7pm: The Martian

A 2015 science fiction survival drama film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon. The Martian, a 2011 novel by Andy Weir, served as the screenplay adapted by Drew Goddard.
