Quanser Global
Sustainability Award

Encouraging the development of initiatives that prepare students to discover and develop sustainable engineering methods throughout their careers.

Award Overview

In partnership with the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES) and the Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC), this award encourages the development of initiatives that prepare students to discover and develop sustainable engineering methods throughout their careers.

Any initiative focused on developing undergraduate or master’s-level engineering skills to tackle one or more sustainability issues is eligible for application. 

The initiative must be innovative and include a demonstrable alignment to learning outcomes. It should also have a measurable impact on the student’s understanding of sustainability and be demonstrably scalable (with appropriate funding) to ensure that it can expand to enhance the learning of future generations.

Individual and team nominations are both welcomed.
