Projects Updates for place: Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Building

  3. iCAP 2025 input sessions

    Associated Project(s): 
    NRES 285: iCAP Sustainability Ambassadors
    iCAP 2025

    Our campus has made enormous sustainability progress under the 2020 Illinois Climate Action Plan (iCAP) Now we need your help identifying goals and priorities for iCAP 2025!

    iSEE is sponsoring a series of input sessions throughout the fall where U. of I. students can share their ideas and learn about the objectives that the iCAP teams are considering, as well as the progress they have made so far. Join us to share your suggestions for moving our campus closer to net-zero carbon emissions!

  4. Outfitting main quads with 3-bins

    Associated Project(s): 
    Indoor Bin Update

    Members of the Zero Waste Team analyzed the main buildings in each of the three central quads. Locations of current 3-bins were noted as well as areas where more were needed. The plan is to transition away from single flow trash and recycling bins towards a system where only 3-bins are used in main hallways. This will ensure that there are well marked bins in highly visible areas and will condense the many bins that need to be serviced by university workers into fewer overall bins. Overall this initiative will lead to improved waste management efficiency and increased recycling rates across the campus.

Students will take their plan and integrate feasible ideas into the Illinois Climate Action Plan (iCAP) 2025 and assist in the presentation of that iCAP. Taught by iSEE's Eric Green and Miriam Keep, the two-credit course meets 2-2:50 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.

    Illini Solar Car Visits Chicago Auto Show


    Calypso, the newest solar-powered vehicle built by the Illini Solar Car project, made its debut at the Chicago Auto Show this month! It's the first time a car built by the U of I student organization has appeared at the nation's largest auto show. The 2024 entry will compete at the Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix in July. A grant from the Student Sustainability Committee (SSC), which allocates student fee revenue from the Illinois Green Fund, supports the Illini Solar Car's 200-member project team!
