Coming to a community near you: An update on Prince Edward Island鈥檚 coastal erosion

Essentially a large sandbar made up of primarily sand and sandstone, Prince Edward Island is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, especially coastal erosion, sea-level rise, and storm surges. Islanders are particularly worried about their homes and cottages built close to the water鈥檚 edge.

The Government of Prince Edward Island and the 69传媒 have come together to survey PEI鈥檚 changing coastline every year and build a number of tools that allow Islanders to understand their property鈥檚 vulnerability to coastal erosion.

"Our community partner was so supportive; they challenged us to do our best work."

In the second, third, and fourth years of UPEI's Bachelor of Sustainable Design Engineering program, students form small groups to participate in a year-long design and implementation project with a corporate or community partner. Described as "an opportunity for students to act as engineering consultants for a company or organization, where teams of students team solve an actual technical challenge from the partner's operation", the design clinic program is a truly hands-on, real-world learning experience.
