| Abstract: | The Green Design Institute research group at Carnegie Mellon University offers a Green Design Apprenticeship for local high school students in an attempt to make the results of industrial ecology research widely know. The Green Design Apprenticeship presents the main concepts of industrial ecology and their intersection with engineering. Topics such as transportation, energy and water resources, the built environment, and life cycle assessment are all included. The development of the the program has been a difficult task, especially when developing material for novice students, and it has shown the authors where their own research fits into the larger industrial ecology scope. |
