ENGRI 1165 - Climate Change and You, the Engineer

(crosslisted) CEE 1165  
(CU-SBY)     
Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Enrollment limited to: Freshman and Sophomores.

E.A. Cowen.

Our current students are the first generation that will feel the impacts of climate change, and the last generation that can do anything about it. The dual objectives of this course are to inform young pre-professional engineers of the factual science in the nexus of climate change/fossil fuels/renewable energy, and to inspire them to dive into that nexus now, and to begin to do something about untangling it as engineers in practice. In this nexus are key issues for civil engineers:  water quality/quantity, emissions, renewable energy supply and structures, civil infrastructure systems engineering, energy economics, sustainability in megacities.
