Prof. Bullock and his students spent the last semester researching current e-waste practices at the local, national, and international level and will investigate new uses for e-waste in the Spring 2009 semester. A Sustainable e-waste Design Competition will begin in January 2009 to encourage further exploration of this important national and global issue.
