Engineering is a powerful force for positive change so we created the Odebrecht Award for Sustainable Development to give students a chance to share their ideas. Each year, a total of $70,000* in cash prizes will be awarded to the three most outstanding ideas, divided among winning Students, Advising Professors, and Universities. Innovation starts with a single idea. It could be yours! The Odebrecht Award is open to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a degree in engineering (all areas), architecture, building & construction, and related STEM fields from an accredited U.S. university. For more information about the award and how you can participate, please visit www.odebrechtaward.com. ::: Community guidelines: The purpose of this page is to foster inspirational, constructive conversation among a community interested in learning about or being part of the change. We reserve the right to report and remove any and all comments at our discretion which are opposed to this mission. This includes postings that are unlawful, spam, obscene, irrelevant, misleading, or otherwise offensive. Anyone who repeatedly violates our community policies will be reported and banned from participation. The Odebrecht Award for Sustainable Development is brought to you by the Odebrecht Group, represented by two of its subsidiaries: Odebrecht USA, a leader in engineering and construction services, and Braskem, the largest manufacturer of thermoplastic resins in the Americas.
