Lecture, seminar, discussion with multidisciplinary team workshops. Open to all junior, senior and graduate students in computer engineering/science, industrial design, architecture, graphic design, artists, entrepreneurs and others are encouraged to enroll. This class addresses the growing national and international problem of electronic waste (E-waste) and offers pro-active experiences to demonstrate what can be done about it. Class content will be delivered through seminars, lectures, discussions, field trips and multi-disciplinary hand-on innovation 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 participate in a hands-on experiences by: organizing and area an e-Waste collection event; working on multi-discipline teams with engineers, designers and artists and others on innovation teams to create new uses for old computers, printers, scanners, cell phone and related E-waste; and, submit new team design ideas to the International e-Waste design competition. See www.ewaste.illinois.edu for results of last years UIUC e-waste design competition. Undergraduate juniors and seniors may enroll; graduate students sign up for the 4 credit option GE 498 DT4. Undergraduate Section. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Junior or Senior class standing.
