This course introduces students to sustainability and its connection to civil engineering infrastructure. Course topics are divided into integrated infrastructure systems, environmental sustainability (including footprints and life cycle assessment), economic sustainability (including time value of money and life cycle costing), social sustainability (including design thinking), and synthesis (including sustainability rating systems and navigating sustainability trade-offs). The course utilizes a combination of lectures, activities, guest speakers, and student-led sustainability challenge exploration to introduce fundamental concepts and applications of sustainable engineering.
