Overview
Throughout the Engineering Design for Climate Resilience from UCL Summer School you will explore current and upcoming impacts of the climate crisis through an interdisciplinary lens, considering frameworks such as the planetary boundaries and the circular economy.You will examine the impacts on cities, including flooding and extreme heat, and tackle the question: how can interdisciplinary engineering teams design practical systems that reduce flood risk, improve water quality and help us live more sustainably in the face of climate change?
You will develop technical skills across mechanical, electrical, materials and bioengineering.
You will tackle climate challenges in cities, including flood and pollution mitigation. Through research, experimentation and prototyping, you will develop hands-on skills to deliver practical, effective engineering solutions.
You will use design tools and frameworks to develop prototype solutions and communicate their value, informed by an understanding of the problems they address.
By the end of the module, students will have:
Collaborate within interdisciplinary teams, reflecting on and adapting their approach.
Identify and define project requirements, constraints, and design parameters.
Critically evaluate sources through independent research, to justify project decisions.
Design and implement solutions that address both technical and societal dimensions of a problem.
Combine technical rigour with engaging delivery.
Programme Structure
- Introduce you to interdisciplinary engineering practice through designing and prototyping solutions to climate challenges, developing technical skills across mechanical, electrical, materials and bioengineering.
- Develop your ability to translate problems into specifications, validate solutions through rigorous experimentation and evaluate their technical, social and environmental impact using frameworks such as the planetary boundaries.
- Build your collaborative skills through recognising team strengths, contributing to interdisciplinary projects and communicating technical work to diverse audiences, reflecting the hands-on approach of UCL's Integrated Engineering Programme.
