Analysis of Sustainability Engineering Systems

Sustainability engineering seeks to serve the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This course analyzes the effectiveness of proposed sustainability engineering systems and methods to obtaining that goal in three arenas: economic, social, and environmental. It also discusses analysis approaches for sustainability. Topics include global energy usage, personal carbon footprint, world population, and climate change. The trade-offs among biblical principles related to sustainability (stewardship, justice, and the cultural mandate) are examined
