Calling all majors! Be a part of this innovative service learning opportunity. ABE 498 is being offered for the spring 2021 semester.
ABE498. This is a project-based course for upperclass students. In this course, students undertake the design of projects that can assist a local community in recovering from a disaster or in preparing for future ones. The students will develop plans, designs, and work on opportunities for collaboration and funding. This course is unique because students can repeat it (if the projects differ in the following term) and take on additional responsibility (see ABE593, below).
ABE492. This class is connected to ABE 498 and involves a study trip to Puerto Rico to gather data related to their projects and designs and interact with the local communities where the projects will be installed. The trip occurs after the conclusion of the semester.
