Young Engineers Advancing the UN SDGs
The inaugural 2018 Young Engineers Competition was a key initiative of WFEO to recognise the contributions of young engineers in leading sustainable development projects.
The awarded contributions were selected among more than 140 varied submissions, geographically and by gender and the wide range of technologies and advanced concepts that were applied, including in rural and low income settings.
The 2018 Young Engineers Competition publication showcases the best of their achievements from around the world from water and sanitation projects in Myanmar and Uganda, the implementation of renewable energy projects in China to projects that address food scarcity in the Philip- pines, Nepal and Peru.
