Middle school students display their work incorporating green designs for cities of the future at Visioneering 2007 at SMU’s Moody Coliseum in March. More than 600 Dallas-area middle school students, educators, practicing engineers and innovators participated in the event to focus on how engineering can help preserve natural resources. “This year’s challenge was inspired by our new Embrey Engineering Building, one of the first academic buildings in the country to be constructed to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Standards. We wanted to show middle school students that engineering is about innovation, creativity and teamwork,” says Tammy L. Richards, assistant dean for the SMU School of Engineering. Visioneering is sponsored by the School of Engineering and the Institute for Engineering Education.To learn more, visit theinstitute.smu.edu/visioneering.
