The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations require the adoption of ecodesign principles for all engineering and related activities. This activity will begin with a talk that will encompass SDGs and introduce the nature of design to the attendees, followed by two formulations of ecodesign principles. Attendees will participate in an open discussion after the talk. Please come with pen and paper (or an iPad or Surface). In lieu of a catered dinner, students who attend and participate in the entire event will receive a gift card to purchase a meal after the event (must attend the entire event).
