Course summary
Students will be taught the fundamentals of environmental science, geography and ecology, while being introduced to the role that design and engineering can play in reducing our footprint on the globe.

This multidisciplinary course will equip students for future careers that require the ability to work across disciplines and the ability to see the bigger picture.
