The first ‘Carbon Literate’ engineering students in the world have successfully completed their training at Manchester Metropolitan University.<\/p>\n
Carbon Literacy is an awareness of climate change and knowledge of the ‘green’ actions we can take to keep the planet healthy – and the next generation of engineers will play a significant part in determining the future of the environment.<\/p>\n
Second year undergraduate students from Manchester Metropolitan’s Product Design and Technology BSc<\/a><\/span> and Design Engineering BSc<\/a><\/span> courses took part in the special training, which was embedded into their overall teaching.<\/p>\n The training was delivered by the Carbon Literacy Project, based at the University’s Innospace business hub.<\/p>\n The project is globally unique and no other engineering students on the planet have been previously certified as Carbon Literate.
