Joel Hebdon grew up in Idaho where he excelled academically and worked on farms, though several colleges recruited him. He pursued environmental engineering and obtained degrees from BYU and the University of Utah. Today he lives in Utah with his family and works as a management consultant specializing in complex environmental projects.
Chris Morton presents on inventing and innovation to address 21st century challenges like the environment, resources and sustainability. He discusses MakeNET projects including a thermoelectric converter, solar thermal fuel synthesizer and chemoelectro deposition mining. These aim to provide alternative energy, fuels and fresh water while preventing problems like acid mine drainage. Morton urges investing in MakeNET to support developing technology with global impact, jobs and environmental benefits while gaining a potentially high financial return. An art auction and expression of interest forms are proposed to raise funds for further research.
This document discusses embedding sustainable development issues into civil engineering education. It argues that sustainability is now central to civil engineering. It proposes addressing sustainability through both curriculum content and teaching processes. For content, it suggests covering awareness, attitudes, skills and knowledge related to complex environmental, economic and social issues. For process, it advocates using case studies, studio-based learning, issue-driven and team-based approaches. The document also notes the establishment of an ICE task group to examine implementing sustainability principles in engineering education, training and professional development.
This document outlines a student project on pollution. It introduces the student team and essential question of how humans impact the environment and how to reverse effects. It provides guiding questions on identifying pollution sources and their ecosystem impacts. It describes activities for students to research their personal carbon footprint, create a video about reducing carbon waste, and investigate local water pollution sources by testing samples and creating a multimedia presentation. It aims to help students understand different pollutants and how personal behaviors can affect the local environment and community.
This document summarizes the Housing First Initiative in Cleveland, Ohio. It discusses three key aspects:
1) The robust coalition of organizations that came together, led by Enterprise Housing Solutions, to implement permanent supportive housing in Cleveland.
2) The process of selecting sites, which involved securing support from local politicians and community engagement. Both successes and failures in site selection are discussed.
3) The strategy employed, which focused on coalition leadership, political support, intelligent site selection, and community education to site permanent supportive housing amid sometimes strong local opposition.
The Renaissance in Denver, Colorado adopted a ten-year plan in 2004 to end homelessness and receive federal funding. This led to the development of multiple Housing First facilities using a permanent housing model. Housing First provides housing and support services to chronically homeless individuals regardless of health issues. Denver's first Housing First facility, Renaissance Civic Center, had minimal community opposition due to its location. Subsequent facilities like Renaissance Uptown required more community engagement during the siting process. Developing good relationships between developers and communities through open communication and good neighbor agreements can help facilitate siting Housing First facilities.
The Green Power Fund: A Presentation from Rio+20 by Graciela ChichilniskyGraciela Chichilnisky
The document discusses how human activity has come to dominate the planet, posing risks like climate change and biodiversity loss. It argues that western economics must change to address these issues by incorporating connections between people, the environment, and future generations. Specifically, it advocates for changing international law to enable carbon markets and a Green Power Fund to finance carbon-negative power plants. By establishing new markets that value public goods like the atmosphere, the goal is to shift capitalism toward sustainability through clean energy and limiting resource use while promoting development.

Citizen Engineers in Action
“We package engineers as problem solvers rather than creators and innovators
who address the grand challenges of our time—environmental contamination,
world hunger, energy dependence, and the spread of disease . . .
How did we let this happen?”
—Jacquelyn F. Sullivan,1 co-director of the Integrated Teaching and Learning
Program at the University of Colorado at Boulder
Around the world, Citizen Engineers are making a real difference inimproving the quality of life. Some are working in the companies youpass by every day, making a difference in the products that we use in
our daily routines. Others are applying their passion and expertise to solving
fundamental problems that people face. As a conclusion to this book we
thought we’d highlight a few inspiring examples of the kinds of things real-
world Citizen Engineers are working on today.
Engineers Without Borders (EWB), a nonprofit humanitarian organization,
is partnering with developing communities worldwide in order to improve
their quality of life. This partnership focuses on the implementation of sus-
tainable engineering projects, while involving and training internationally
responsible engineers and engineering students. Here are just a few of their
recent projects.
• In Bulandshahar, Uttar Pradesh, the student-teacher duo of Niruttam
Kumar Singh and Harvansh Yadav have made a cow dung battery
that lights up electric bulbs, charges mobile phones, and brings alive
radios.2
• Undergraduate engineering students are currently building a bridge
across a gorge in a small town in Nicaragua. The students have sur-
veyed the entire project site and are now in the process of designing a
bridge to span the gorge and allow for pedestrian travel during the
rainy season.3
• Thousands of residents of rural villages in India are receiving quality
eye care thanks to a collaborative effort between an Indian hospital
215
17
network and the researchers at the University of California, Berkeley,
and at Intel Corporation who have developed a new technology for
low-cost rural connectivity.4
• Engineers at PlayPumps International designed the PlayPump5 water
system, which provides easy access to clean drinking water, brings joy
to children, and leads to improvements in health, education, gender
equality, and economic development. Installed near schools, the
PlayPump system doubles as a water pump and a merry-go-round. It
also provides a way to reach rural and peri-urban communities with
potentially life-saving public health messages.
In Panama, students and researchers are using small wireless sensors to
help answer big environmental questions. Warren Wilson College and CREA,
a nonprofit organization in Panama, are implementing a geographic informa-
tion system (GIS) and wireless sensor network on the 1,000-acre Cocobolo
Nature Reserve in Panama. Tiny Sun SPOT sensors6 will provide an inexpen-
sive, easy-to-program platform for monitoring all kinds of things: the impac.
