---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Research EngineeringForChange research@engineeringforchange.org Date: Wed, Feb 26, 2020 at 2:18 PM Subject: Exciting Updates, State of EGD Report, and Thank You from Engineering for Change To: Cc: iana@engineeringforchange.org
Dear Professors,
Engineering for Change (E4C) recently undertook a research effort to map the academic institutions in North America offering engineering for global development to understand the state of the sector. Your institution was included along with our broader findings in the aptly named "State of Engineering Global Development in the USA and Canada" report found here https://www.engineeringforchange.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/State-of-EGD-North-America_graphic.pdf. We are pleased to share this report with you review and feedback. We also encourage you to share it widely among your students and colleagues. You can also send them to our exciting career resources page https://www.engineeringforchange.org/what-we-do/professional-development/ that is a centralized location for all of our webinars, opportunities, publications, and more.
We also would like to share our new Engineering for Change Seminar Series https://www.engineeringforchange.org/webinars/, a monthly 1 hour video seminar that features academic laboratories researching solutions to meet the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The world’s cutting edge research deserves a platform with a global audience. Join us for presentations of new findings from investigative teams around the globe each month. We welcome your applications to take part in the series. Please send an email to research@engineeringforchange.org if you are interested! And join us for our next Seminar Series event on March 11th with Dr. Nathan Johnson of Arizona State University. He will be covering climate change, conflict, and engineering for peace. Register here https://www.engineeringforchange.org/webinar/seminar-series-climate-change-conflict-engineering-peace/ .
Finally, E4C has launched, in partnership with Siemens USA, an exciting design challenge called "Innovate for Impact". This challenge was created to drive solutions for zero hunger and clean water which are aligned to the UN's SDGs #2 and #6 respectively. Please share this website http://bit.ly/2uVJpHb with your students - applications are opening in March and the winning designs will meet the Siemens USA CEO and receive $10,000 USD.
Thank you again for the time and continued support that you have given to the growing and global E4C community. We can't accomplish what we do without experts like you!
All the best,
The E4C Team
