The course introduces the academic discipline of sustainability and explores how today's human societies can endure in the face of resource limitations, global change and environmental degradation. It addresses the issues of sustainability design from several points of view including economics, ecology, and technology. Concepts such as life cycle assessment, triple bottom line, inclusive wealth, and resilience are introduced from an engineering approach. A resource accounting perspective is developed in some detail with the emphasis in areas such as material resources, energy resources, sustainable infrastructure, green buildings and clean technology.
