930 Greengineering 301                   no level       11-12                      8 blocks       full year       10 credits
Note: GNRG 301 is run concurrently with Xplore GNRG
Prerequisites: either GNRG 101 or 201
​
GNRG 301 is a collaborative-service based curriculum. Students split time between co-teaching the Xplore GNRG and working with com­munity groups on green issues. Students engage local businesses and environmental groups and work on making the Newton community as sustainable as possible. Leadership, collaboration and professional project management will become critical tools in tackling complex problem with green-designed solutions, such as building-based energy audits with the Green Decade Coalition, Newton’s High Performance Building Coalition, and BU engineering; Students also contribute to green product/process design engineering with partnering companies and universities, such as MIT, Ecovative Design, Save That Stuff, Legal SeaFood, Whole Foods Market, Preserve, The Earth Day Network, UPS, Boston Tree Service, Newton Community Farm, Newton Conservators, etc. Students will earn their 301 Safety Training Certificate.
GNRG 301 is a collaborative, service based curriculum. The 301s are seniors that have been in the Greengineering program since their freshman/sophomore year and want to commit eight blocks a week to Greengineering.  

Consulting

We spend a large portion of class time examining how students interact with the shop. Our job is to make the program the best it can be (whether that means organizing the shop, updating our websites, etc.)

Co-Teaching

We co-teach the Xplores and 101s with Dr, Tupper. As students that have gone through all the GNRG programs, we have an insiders perspective on what makes certain design challenges/projects great!

Projects

We have the freedom and flexibility to create anything and everything we want (obviously there are a few restrictions-time, money, and safety). It is up to us to decide what we want to do and how we want to do it.
