ENVE 401 Green Engineering & Sustainable Design
Study of green engineering, focusing on approaches to achieving sustainability through engineering design. Topics include current design, manufacturing and disposal processes; toxicity and benign alternatives; policy implications; pollution prevention and source reduction; material and energy efficiencies and flows; system analysis; biomimicry; and life-cycle design and analysis. Students, working in teams, develop a green and/or sustainable design relating to an environmental problem. Students apply interdisciplinary knowledge to research the problem and recommend possible solutions.
