Engineering and Care for our Communities
This year, Caroline Baillie, Eric Feinblatt, and Sarah Brownell from RIT, will be hosting conversations around the theme, ‘Engineering and Care for our Communities’ – we invite you to bring your own questions, conversation topics, and activities. Just to get started …. How can engineering incorporate design principles with the aim of developing closed-loop, symbiotic, self-sustaining human habitats and productions systems that do not result in ecological degradation or social injustice?
