ISI Sponsored Another Successful ESW Design Challenge

We were proud to sponsor this year’s Engineers for a Sustainable World Conference Design Challenge (ESWcon2025), which had the theme “Designing Our Sustainable Future: Circularity, Community, and Creativity.” Student teams gathered March 27–30 at the The University of Akron in Akron, Ohio, working together to design solutions to a specified problem or need before presenting their ideas to a panel of judges. The event challenged the participants to think critically and collaborate with new friends from other ESW chapters, and encourage further interest in sustainability efforts for the built environment.

We were excited for the opportunity to work alongside these young engineers and to see their innovative ideas and approaches to sustainable design! Below are a few photos from the event that was attended by ISI’s Education Director Leslie Brunell.

Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW) is an international nonprofit network of students & professionals united by their shared passion for technical sustainability. With more than 1,750 members throughout North America, the organization is anchored in the belief that young engineers & scientists are critical to solving the biggest sustainability challenges of today and tomorrow.
