With help from UIT Academic Technology, Professor Shafiqul Islam and a group of graduate students from the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department have developed a customized, wiki-based web site with the goal of creating an international, interactive repository of shared water information and wisdom.
Professor Islam and his students will be presenting AquaPedia at the 5th World Water Forum in Istanbul on March 20th. The students participated in the inaugural year of the University Seminars, sponsored by the Office of the Provost at Tufts. The Water & Diplomacy seminar was led by Professor Islam and Professor Bill Moomaw with curriculum design support from CELT, the Tufts Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching and with academic technology support from UIT.
Please visit the web site and provide the AquaPedia team with feedback.
