Eco-Programs Setting Sail at Tech Engineering Development for Huimanity: D80

Eco-Programs Setting Sail at Tech
Marty Auer, professor of civil and environmental engineering, shares knowledge and lake-bottom muck with students and teachers aboard the Research Vessel Aggasiz. “The kids loved it! The experience was very hands-on, and the teachers learned a lot too!” A local teacher effuses about her class trip aboard the RV Aggasiz. It’s but one example of eco-education initiatives at Michigan Tech. From Michigan Tech Magazine Fall 2007

Prosperity By Design: D80 Conference
The 2nd Annual D80 Conference of November 2008

What is D80?
Many challenges confront our planet's inhabitants, particularly the 80% not typically considered by designers of infrastructure, goods and services. Engineers must play a critical role in elevating the quality of life for all while ensuring future generations can thrive. The programs within the Michigan Tech D80 Center provide many education, research, and service opportunities for students interested in gaining valuable professional experience while making a difference in the lives of others today. Join the 175 students and 10 faculty currently involved in one or more of our programs.
