BEE 5299
Sustainable Development

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

Sustainable development is a predominant environmental, economic, and social concern of the 21st century. This course introduces the key concepts of sustainable development and how they are integrated into life cycle analysis (LCA) assessments of sustainability. Students seeking to expand their knowledge of sustainable development through readings, videos, written assignments, and interaction with their peers are welcome to take the course. Students learn to evaluate sustainability by carrying out LCA assessments from environmental, economic, and social perspectives throughout the semester for a system/product of their choice relevant to their majors. Over the course of the semester, work is posted on an e-portfolio to enable peer sharing and commenting. Course is solely asynchronous and web-based. This course follows the same trajectory as BEE 3299, but with greater required depth of research and extent of peer interaction. Additional course information can be found at our Sustainable Development page.
