Registration opens Monday September 9, 2019 for the third offering of the massive open online course (MOOC), Sustainability in Practice, which is available for free. This self-paced course starts October 16 and must be completed by December 13. The last day of registration for this offering is November 12.

This course is a joint project between Engineers Canada  and Polytechnique Montréal.

This course suggests tools for engineers to apply these guidelines in their professional practice.
