The pervasive effects of the COVID-19 pandemic can leave us all feeling powerless at times. Students in the course Engineering Processes for Environmental Sustainability (BEE 2510) took back some power during the fall semester by addressing critical problems related to pandemic.
Instructors Jillian Goldfarb, assistant professor of biological and environmental engineering in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS), and Alex Maag, postdoctoral associate with Cornell’s Active Learning Initiative, assigned students to solve problems related to COVID-19, from the logistics of vaccine storage and transportation, to the disinfection of public spaces, and the sanitation and reuse of personal protective equipment (PPE).
