Baskin Engineering Climate Week aims to inspire everyone to get involved in addressing the climate crisis. We will bring together faculty engaged in climate research, helping to build an ongoing community of practice with a focus on integrating climate solutions into our work. This week, faculty will also incorporate climate science-focused lectures into their engineering courses, linking their diverse disciplines to real-world climate solutions. Daily activities include interactive games, student organization demos, and opportunities to explore cutting-edge climate research to build community and learn from one another. Baskin Engineering Climate Week will unite campus partners, leaders, and the community to drive meaningful change.
