Title
The Importance of Place, Culture, and Trust in Sustainable Engineering Education
Synopsis
In both sustainable engineering design and engineering education, enduring solutions must incorporate place, culture, and trust. This paper describes a project that aims to both advance sustainable engineering design practice and engineering education within the Oglala Lakota Tribal Community through a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded Pre-Engineering Education Collaborative program developed between mainstream universities and a tribal college in South Dakota.
