I am teaching a brand new course this summer “CE 600 Sustainable Construction”. What makes this a particularly interesting offering is that it is an environmental based course being offered in a country with limited environmental laws or governmental oversight. Whatsmore, it is being presented to a class of 18 Middle-eastern students / professionals who speak English as a secondary language. Yea, I was a little nervous about this one ☺
To my relief the first session went amazingly well. Students were eager to learn and asked a variety of insightful questions. It is my sincere hope that by completing the CEM program these students will be able to take environmental protection to new heights here in Egypt and throughout the region.
