Lectures, seminars, discussions and multidisciplinary team workshops. Open to all university sophomore students including undergraduate computer engineers/scientists, industrial designers, architects, graphic designers, artists, entrepreneurs and others interested in learning about this important topic. This class introduces the growing national and international problem of electronic waste (E-waste- discarded computers, printers, scanner, cell phone and like electronics) and offers pro-active experiences to demonstrate what can be done about it. Class content will be delivered through seminars, lectures, discussions, workshops, field trips and multi-disciplinary teamwork. The class involves investigation to determine the problems associated with e-waste revolving around complex legal, economic, social--environmental issues; the opportunity to work with students from other majors on multi-disciplinary teams to generate ideas on ways to solve these problems; and, the opportunity to be involved in pro-active steps to address this real world problem. The class will provide a hands-on experience organizing an e-Waste collection event. The 3 credit option involves lectures/seminars, discussions, field trips and innovation team experiences envisioning new uses for E-waste. See www.ewaste.illinois.edu for results of last years UIUC e-waste design competition. Restriction(s): Not intended for students with Freshman class standing.
