3 credits · Graduate

In this course, students develop real-world engineering and design skills to address the effects of climate change. The semester teaches design solutions based on planned and implemented projects to address sea level rise, extreme flooding and other climate risks. Students will explore applications to real-world sites in a project-based format. Topics include engineering tools, high performance landscapes, sustainable infrastructure, urban design, equity and social justice, and resilience of critically impacted built and natural infrastructure systems.
