Sustainable Design Info Session
Systems Approaches for Sustainability
A special project opportunity will be offered during winter term to explore systems approaches to sustainable design with Melissa Eblen-Zayas (associate professor of physics), Joe Gransee-Bowman (MS in architecture, sustainable design), and Martha Larson (Manager of Campus Energy and Sustainability). Possible topics we may consider include feasibility studies of year-round greenhouses in Northfield as part of sustainable living system design, exploring the potential for net zero energy buildings on campus and in the community, developing a framework for planning and integrating sustainability projects on campus, investigating the history and development of local community sustainability projects, etc. This 2 credit special project course will be offered on a S/Cr/NC basis only and students will be expected to participate in 5-6 meetings during the term, actively contribute to group projects between meetings, and present results in an appropriate forum. Students with interests in engineering, environmental studies, and sustainable design are all welcome.
Want to know more? Come to an info session on Wednesday Nov 13 at 8 pm in Olin 103 or contact Melissa Eblen-Zayas (meblenza).
