23 Chemical Engineers for a World of Good: Bringing Hard and Soft Engineering Skills and Sustainability to Undergraduates


Description:
International engineering service projects, and research and capstone projects supporting these projects, are an opportunity to help students develop soft and hard skills that are difficult to impart otherwise. Participation in these activities can deliver great benefits to the students while meeting important accreditation criteria. This session brings together educators interested in the intersection of sustainability and international student projects, to share experiences and ideas to promote the growth of these activities throughout our profession.
