Course Description

This course is specifically designed to support campus, and future industrial and public, efforts on achieving carbon neutrality so that sustainability will not be impaired by global climate change. Students will learn about life cycle assessment, carbon footprints, and the definitions needed in order to support evaluations in both arenas. The course is intended to provide students with the background that they could use their science, business, or engineering background to perform the data collection and accounting procedures with justification from published or high quality sources to evaluate current and future practices. Students will also receive training and build skills in how to use persuasive arguments based on not only reducing footprint but also enhancing financial benefits that will help support them in achieving sustainable practices in their future careers. An illustrative example using a campus facet will help ground the course in real-world problems and details so that students can learn how to handle the issues that arise.
