Each of these courses introduce core concepts and theories, while providing learners with practical application knowledge they can use to begin making a positive impact on their community., For those looking to gain in depth knowledge on advanced sustainability courses, Climate Change in Africa and Hydro, Wind and Solar Power Resources and Variability Forecast provide a comprehensive look into understanding ways to combat the effects of climate change. Spring 2021| The purpose of this course is to analyze these two countries within a coherent analytical framework (must be a sustainability-related project). The ensuing disrup-tion creates opportunities for innovation on many fronts, including new social arrangements, new business models, and entrepreneurial activities of many kinds. Youll receive a high quality education taught by top leaders in the field and have the opportunity to collaborate with students from around the world. Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. Take our quiz to find out. Students explore theoretical concepts in business ethics, and cases representing the challenges they will likely face as managers. Immediate results show the environment receiving sparse treatment in core course textbooks, institutions having zero environment-focused degree . The course is lecture- and discussion-based with a 1.5 hour lecture each week taught by the professor for 65+ students and a 1.5 hour 'breakout session' each week taught by a TA with 20 - 30 students. As sustainability is a cross-disciplinary field of study, this foundation requires intellectual breadth: as I describe it in the class text, understanding our motivations requires the humanities, measuring the challenges of sustainability requires knowledge of the sciences (both natural and social), and building solutions requires technical insight into systems (such as provided by engineering, planning, and management). *Student's must petition, must be a sustainability-related project.

The course covers three themes: (1) the historical roots of and current discourses on sustainable development, (2) the theories of managing common pool resources and their implications for sustainable development, and (3) connections to specific environmental challenges. In this course, you will not only learn how to identify the tools of science communication, but will be able critique, refine, and develop them. 1 0 obj {lRmV vGgf|Cy!8 2Nv'"t\NR 2K\ydv]bPAllKOaWU&U,g-\0[}=>.2}~!X|KT"k0{mKW1-.*d##bnH=0FkrpLp:DQN/ Spring 2023|Project-based course on product design; teaches design for environment.
