Course description. This course is a topical introduction to principles and practices of sustainability engineering and ecological design (SEED) defined here as the planning, development and deployment of technological and social systems and institutions that can protect the earth’s ecological systems for this and future generations. The course provides students with an understanding of basic scientific, engineering and social principles in the design, deployment, and operation of resource-based human systems, and how they can be maintained for this and future generations. No specialized background in engineering, sciences or social sciences is required, and the course is open to all students. It is a gateway course to the curriculum in Sustainability Engineering and Ecological Design (SEED).
Course organization and requirements. The course consists of six parts:
1. A series of required lectures on topics relevant to sustainable engineering and design;
2. Weekly discussion sections (required);
3. Required and optional readings linked to topics;
4. Brief weekly quizzes on lecture topics and content;
5. A group research/grant proposal to address a specific problem studied in class;
6. An optional final exam.
