17吃瓜

A group of 17吃瓜 engineering students who recently participated in a Global Brigades experience in Honduras will give a public presentation about their experience. Led by Dr. Libby Osgood, assistant professor in the FSDE, the 17 students spent their two-week study break in rural Honduras where they built eco-stoves for six families in one community and did an engineering survey project in another town to ensure that the people living there have access to clean water. 

The Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering鈥檚 annual Design Expo is Friday, April 28. Student projects will be set up for public viewing at various stations around the first floor of the FSDE building. Each project is the result of collaboration between FSDE students and an industry or community partner. Students were tasked with designing and creating solutions to their partner鈥檚 unique challenges. Projects are available for viewing from 1-3:30 pm. All are welcome!

The 17吃瓜 is pleased to welcome participants with the Shad 17吃瓜 program to campus. Shad is a month-long program for grade 10 and 11 students coming from all regions of Canada, who are some of the most passionate dreamers in Gen Z. Over the next four weeks, they will dive into hands-on learning that prepares them to tackle social and economic challenges with a STEAM lens and collaborate with peers to design a solution to a real-world problem as they engage with academic and entrepreneurial mentors. And they will get to experience beautiful PEI in July.

The Faculty Development Summer Institute (FDSI) on Active Learning in Higher Education is a multi-day institute of talks, activities, and workshops focused on active learning. The goal of this institute is to bring together post-secondary instructors who are passionate about engaging their students through active learning. Our team of dynamic facilitators is planning a research-based program with learning activities that will allow participants to learn about active learning approaches that can enhance student learning and develop plans to incorporate active learning into their classes.
