Green Engineering

I just received a link to a great post at a blog for online engineering degrees.  Don’t let the focus of the blog put you off, this is a great source of green tech info.

From the intro:

The Engineering A Better World Blog is about applying the general principles of engineering; testing, method, research, creativity, and artistry, to our world in a very practical way. By highlighting the creative work of others and by presenting new ideas, we’ll attempt to improve the world around us in our little way. Practically speaking, we’ll cover new ideas, highlight people who are making a difference, and provide resources to inspire you and give you the resources to assist you in changing the world for the better as well.

A Sample of Green Engineering Blogs:

1.  Green Engineering Blog at Design News : Design News editor-in-chief John Dodge weighs in on how engineering and technology can incorporate environmentally-friendly elements into as many projects as possible. Many of the other blogs on the site feature similar valuable content as well.

2. Environmental Engineering Diary : Environmental engineer Arie Dipareza Syafei covers numerous aspects of his chosen field, serving as both a primer and introduction for newcomers and a sounding board for professionals. Many posts concern his graduate research into membranes.

3. Environmental Engineering Blog : This multidisciplinary blog relates environmental issues and green initiatives back to engineering and technology, and posts touch upon a wide variety of related subjects. Politics, law, geology, and real estate all determine how environmental engineers develop products for a healthier planet.

4. Environmental Engineering at Suffolk : Students and staff at Suffolk University discuss their personal projects as well as environmental engineering trends and topics from around the world. Most posts, however, understandably tend to focus on Massachusetts.

It looks like the Engineering a Better World Blog may become a new source for good information on green tech, if it can become independent from the online University blog …
