Steve Muench has an opportunity for a limited number of students (all students, undergraduate and graduate students are eligible) to participate in a 2 credit independent study course with Thornton Tomasetti (local Seattle office) in a project using their embodied carbon in building structures internal database.

Check your email to see what more Steve Muench thinks about the course, as well as read through the course description and student responsibilities. Or email Steve for the course PDF.

If you’re interested, please email Steve Muench (stmuench@uw.edu) by Friday, October 9th, 2020.

A note from Steve: This is, for real, an independent study with only periodic check-ins with James Feracor (the Thornton Tomasetti point of contact) and Steve Muench (the UW faculty working with James on this). This is an opportunity to marry structures and sustainability nicely with insider-data from a prominent company. Also, where networking is the job hunting champion, it might be quite good to know a few folks at Thornton Tomasetti.
