Welcome to the Ethos R&D Program

Ethos R&D embeds cohorts of undergraduate and graduate students into long-term faculty mentored Ethos-centric research and design projects. Each project focuses on engineering for the common good and enabling collaborative solutions to societal challenges through the development of 

• just and sustainable technologies and systems,
• novel and appropriate design practices, and/or 
• engineering pedagogy related to human rights, social justice, and/or global engineering.

THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE!

Students and faculty members can apply to participate in Ethos R&D at any time and in the variety of ways listed below. Note that the student team cohorts launch each fall semester.

Undergraduate students: Apply to join the next cohort of Ethos R&D student teams as a team member! No previous research experience is required. Student team members actively participate on an applied research project while building marketable research and development skills. 

Graduate students: Apply to join the next cohort of Ethos R&D student teams as a team member or manager! No previous research or management experience is required. Student team members actively participate on an applied research project while building marketable research and development skills. Student team managers provide managerial oversight of a student team while developing key management and leadership skills. 

Faculty members: Advance your Ethos-centric research project by submitting a project to start with the next student team cohort. Faculty members provide technical mentorship to the student team supporting their research, while extending the impact of their research.
