The Adobe was built in 1822 and is the only adobe
brick building remaining from the original Santa
Clara Mission and remains the oldest building
on any college or university campus west of the
Mississippi River. The Adobe Lodge was completely
restored in 1981 and is currently serving as the
University Faculty Club.

sustainability in the design of green product
including end-of-life considerations and reliability.
His presentation will include information on trends
in Cleantech Industries and green product design.
3:30 PM, Howard R. Mullin (Control Plastics)
will discuss what you need to know to design and
procure plastic molded parts that work. He will
discuss design compromises as well as the most
common problems associated with the design, use
of 3-D data bases, control drawings, tooling and
manufacture of injection molded plastic parts.
4:15 PM, Rolfe Anderson PhD (Trillium Precision
Surgical) will speak on miniaturization in medical
and biotech products. His presentation will spotlight
the dynamic revolution created by progress in
device integration and technologies for diagnostics,
medical research, and medical devices. This talk
