Promoting STEM Education Between Undergraduate Students from Colombia and the U.S through the Design of Low-Cost Water Sensors to Monitor Water Pollution (U.S. & Colombia Water-Collab)
This project will promote STEM education for students within Colombia and the U.S. Initiatives to design low-cost water sensors to monitor water pollution intends to provide hands-on water research opportunities, enhance communication in engineering, and increase technical skills among students. Participant institutions will join efforts to create an open and inclusive curriculum on water quality monitoring, promote the use of Arduino as a learning and research tool, and guide the students to provide feasible and low-cost solutions to monitoring water quality in communities affected or at risk of water contamination. This project will broaden students’ knowledge in water, data science, and analysis—while also empowering them to become global engineers.
