  • Sustainability

    Michigan Technological University, or Michigan Tech, holds sustainability as a “core value,” and in accordance with this mission, the university’s Sustainable Futures Institute spearheads a diverse host of research and education initiatives that address environmental impact. The SFI emphasizes collaborative, multidisciplinary research and outreach in four primary areas: international/developing world sustainable development; manufacturing and materials sustainability; systems analysis for sustainability; and sustainable energy. The Sustainability Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiative and similar development efforts focus on bolstering the university’s sustainability infrastructure. The SFI also hosts two engineering courses, a graduate certificate in sustainability, an Undergraduate International Sustainable Development Engineering Certificate, and other K-12, interdisciplinary, and community programming. Additionally, Michigan Tech is home to a dynamic range of sustainability research centers, including the Center for Water and Society, the Ecosystem Science Center, the Wood-to-Wheels research project for wood-based biofuel, and the Center for Environmentally Benign Functional Materials. Michigan Tech’s administration has committed to work toward achieving a carbon-neutral campus through the Carbon Neutral Project under the aegis of the national Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP). Based on the recommendation of AQIP’s Carbon Neutral project, the university formed a student-run Green Campus Initiative to further progress toward carbon neutrality. Finally, the university’s distinguished School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science educates students in preservation within the fields of forestry, forest ecology and management, applied ecology and environmental sciences, wildlife ecology and management, and molecular genetics and biotechnology.
