Students will investigate background cultural, political, and social factors that preceded recent events within Puerto Rico and will influence sustainability and viability of solutions. Students will be trained in the assessment of the viability of potential technological solutions responding to current challenges for the local societies after the disaster. Students will be trained in the safety issues associated with entering potentially dangerous areas. Students will work with local communities, aid organizations, and peer institutions in development of sustainable responses to recent events in Puerto Rico. Students will document their visit and their assessments providing a prioritized action plan for future sustainable development. Travel will occur to Puerto Rico during winter, specific dates TBD. PROGRAM FEE: There will be a fee associated with this course in the amount of $2600-3250, which covers the cost of round trip airfare, ground transportation, lodging, and in-country programming. Scholarships are available. Students should contact their college study abroad office for more information about scholarships. See http://www.studyabroad.illinois.edu for more information about the study tour and to complete a study abroad application for "ACES/Engineering Global Service Learning Disaster Relief Projects: Hurricane Maria." .
