Education
CURRICULUM
The education component of the EDC program is designed to include
courses at the University of Colorado at Boulder that
emphasize issues critical to the understanding of the developing
world and sustainable development. EDC serves as a convener for a number of courses in
engineering, sustainability, appropriate technology, renewable
energy, international education and development, business, and
various fields of humanities. See list of
courses with sustainability
emphasis at CU Boulder.
The EDC curriculum
has been
designed around the recommendations for general engineering
education suggested in the
ASCE
Body of Knowledge for the 21st
Century and by ABET (criteria 3 and 4).
Students interested
in community service and international
development through EDC have several options
in the Civil, Environmental, and
Architectural Engineering (CEAE)
Department at CU Boulder.
-
For graduate students,
an
EDC track is available in the
MS/PhD
program in Environmental Engineering. EDC can also be custom
designed as an emphasis area in the Building Systems
program and the Construction Engineering and
Management program. Students interested in EDC must apply through
the CEAE Department (application
process) and mention their interest in EDC
graduate studies.
-
For CVEN undergraduate
students,
check the
EDC Track Advising Guide
for CVEN students and
faculty. Students follow
a typical CVEN curriculum and study
developing world issues in some of their socio-humanistic
and technical electives.
Senior design projects emphasize sustainable
community development. See also
the general
CVEN Advising Guide.
