Below are links to various websites that have information about
sustainable engineering. These websites may be used as a starting
point for selecting your project, or provide additional information on a
specific project you have already selected.
Generally, it is not good to use the World Wide Web for scholarly
research. If you do decide to use a webpage as a reference, remember to
first evaluate the website for its authenticity and credibility. You can use
this guide
(courtesy of Cornell University Library) for help in your evaluation.
