Engineering and Public Policy

The engineering/science/policy interface is of critical importance to achieve a sustainable future. We train scientists and engineers to formulate public policy by considering economic, social, environmental and political consequences of management decisions.

Safety, efficiency and sustainability are ever-increasing requirements of engineered products and services. We train engineers and scientists to be policy makers in both the public and private sectors. We explore the precautionary principle in applied research and training. Our focus spans many societal sectors like water, energy, waste management, chemical management, and transportation.
