Engineering for One Planet marked World Engineering Day, shared new funding opportunities, and brought EOP's message to key climate and higher education convenings.
This year's World Engineering Day theme, "Shaping Our Sustainable Future Through Engineering," offers an opportunity to view sustainability as both a destination and a approach.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and The Lemelson Foundation announced their first joint research and design awards for five projects to integrate social and environmental sustainability into engineering education.
During this quarter, Engineering for One Planet was represented at Climate Week NYC and a number of important convenings of the engineering and sustainability community.
ABET and The Lemelson Foundation recognized Dr. Jennifer Watt, Director of Sustainability Education at the University of Utah, with the inaugural Engineering for One Planet Innovation in Sustainability Award.
Engineering for One Planet (EOP) and our partners brought a strong sustainability focus to this year's 2024 Annual Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) - which included a presentation by Lemelson Foundation President Eric Lemelson about how to define sustainability in new ways to address our global climate crisis.
The award represents the third cohort of grantees for the program, providing funding and mentorship to help engineering faculty integrate sustainability into their curricula.
EOP made waves this quarter! From industry and educational events to our thriving network and the launch of #EOPFrameworkFridays, we're spreading the word about sustainability in engineering education.
A new EOP brochure details how engineers are uniquely equipped to help achieve the UN's 17 SDGs.
EOP will have a strong presence at the 2024 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference in Portland, Oregon.
Ambitious climate commitments and sustainability goals are driving a massive trend in the growth of green jobs. As governments and companies across the globe set policies and plans to address the climate crisis, there is an urgent need to fill those new positions with a workforce that can meet the challenge.
As we look to recover and rebuild from a tumultuous pandemic year, “Build Back Better” has been the guiding principle of the Biden administration. But it can equally be applied to our natural environment, as we look at degraded ecosystems and the disruption caused by climate change.
