About Us
The Kettering Industrial Ecology Team (KIET) is a multi-disciplinary group of faculty at Kettering University dedicated to promoting environmentally conscious design practices. We have developed and begun offering an innovative interdisciplinary course (IME 540: Environmentally Conscious Design and Manufacturing), sponsored guest speakers, formed an advisory board and student group, engaged in community development and outreach, and actively pursued opportunities to engage engineering students in industry-relevant ideas. This project has been funded in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Terri Lynch-Caris (tlynch@kettering.edu) is the Principal Investigator for the project and Ben Redekop (benjamin.redekop@cnu.edu) was the co-principal investigator and has recently joined the faculty at Christopher Newport University. Trevor Harding, now at California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obisbo, is a former KIET member and key instigator of the project. We would like to thank our advisory board for their insights and perspectives throughout the course development and project advancement.
