This course surveys the three realms of sustainability—economic, environmental, and social equity—and considers current global trends in these areas and tools for implementing and assessing sustainability. We explore applications of the principles of sustainability in food production, energy and resources, corporate management, consumption and waste, green architecture, and sustainable community planning. Students employ problem-based learning, and develop practical skills and professional tools. Sustainability professionals share their experiences during guest lectures. Credit hours: 4. Prerequisite: EVST 1101, EVST 1104, MSCI 1101 or sophomore standing or permission of instructor.
