The aim of this course is to provide students with a solid foundation in sustainability, and particularly the concept of a green economy upon which to further their studies. Over the course of this 4 week program, students will be provided with practical insights on how to go about developing more sustainable products, using objective and scientific criteria and with examples of success and failure. Finally, the course lays out the root causes to waste generation and discusses how to turn waste into a valuable resource and defines criteria critical to feed waste back into the supply stream. The class will alternate between lectures, discussions, role-play activities and class assignments.
The course has a duration of 4 weeks (60 hours).
