The course is designed to engage students in the development of pathways towards sustainable and resilient designs for food, energy, and water supply chains suited for such disaster-prone regions. Students will investigate background cultural, political, and social factors that provide context for specific disaster-prone regions. Students will be trained in the assessment of the viability of potential technological solutions and their resilience when responding to current and anticipated challenges for the regional societies. Students will be trained in the safety issues associated with entering potentially dangerous areas. Students will work with local communities, aid organizations, and peer instructions in the identification and implementation of sustainable responses. Students will document their visit and their assessments providing a prioritized action plan and designs supporting sustainable and resilient development of these regions. This course is part 1 of a two-course sequence (ABE 498-492). Enrollment in at least one course within the two-course sequence is required to participate in the faculty lead study tour. This course may be repeated if topics vary. In part 1 of the two-course sequence, the learning objective of the course will be met via projects that will train and prepare students for project-based learning experiences while traveling to the disaster-prone regions. Students will identify problems, propose solutions, and prepare the team to execute on potential solutions while in-country. PROGRAM FEE: Students registered in this section pay a study abroad fee assessed through an appropriate Study Abroad Office, 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."
