Project-based Learning as a Vehicle for Social Responsibility and Social Justice in Engineering Education

Greg currently teaches in Humanitarian Engineering at Mines where he bridges the gaps, so to speak, for the many students who do not quite see how their future engineering careers, design, and humanitarianism can be woven together. Greg earned his bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering with a minor in Global Poverty and Practice from UC Berkeley where he acquired a passion for using engineering to facilitate developing communities’ capacity for success. He earned his master’s degree in Structural Engineering and Risk Analysis from Stanford University. His PhD work at CU Boulder focused on how student’s connections of social responsibility and engineering change throughout college as well as how engineering service is valued in employment and supported in the workplace.
