<br \/>\n
<\/p>\n<p>
<br \/>\n The Global SEED projects aim at engaging Joint Institute senior students in multidisciplinary engineering design for global sustainable development. Specifically, the inaugural projects in Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 will address real needs of partner non-profit enterprises in Bangladesh to promote the sustainable development of this Belt-and-Road nation.
\n <\/p>\n<p>
<br \/>\n
<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Project 1: Pay-As-You-Go for LPG
<br \/>\nIn partnership with Grameen Shakti, one project team will design and prototype a Pay-As-You-Go liquid petroleum gas (LPG) system to allow low-income Bangladeshi households to purchase LPG in small amounts without upfront fuel costs. [<a href=\"..\/statics\/files\/Global%20SEED_PayAsYouGo.pdf\">click here for more details<\/a>]<\/li>\n<p>
<\/p>\n<li>Project 2: Salinity meter for Coastal Bangladesh
<br \/>\n In partnership with icddr,b, another project team will design and prototype a groundwater salinity measurement and monitoring system for deployment in coastal Bangladesh. [<a href=\"..\/statics\/files\/Global%20SEED%20_%20Salinity%20Meter.pdf\">click here for more details<\/a>]
\n <\/li>\n<p>
\n <\/ul>\n<p>Upon successful completion of the Global SEED projects, members of the project teams will earn Vg450 and Vg451 credits and thus fulfill the ECE and ME Capstone Design requirement for graduation.<\/p>\n<p>
