Global Engineering Design Studio Application Deadline
Saturday, February 5, 2022
Application deadline for Global Engineering Design Studio is Feb. 5th @ 11:59 PM EST.
Apply here!
Delivered in partnership with seven of the leading engineering institutions in the world, the Global Engineering Design Studio program allows students from across the world collaborate together to propose innovative solutions to pressing global issues.
This year, GEDS will focus on Sustainable Cities and Communities – UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11. Design teams consisting of students from different universities with the guidance of mentors and faculty, will apply human-centred design approaches to further focus on one of three more specific challenges:
- How can we preserve or improve the quality of our water in critical areas? (also intersecting with SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation)
- How might we preserve our biodiversity? (also intersecting with SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure)
- How might we navigate traffic congestion as populations in urban settings surge? (also intersecting with SDG 15: Life on Land)
