MATH 185 - Engineering For Sustainability

Prerequisite(s): Math 185. This course comprises an intensive study, from an engineering design perspective, of the factors (physical, environmental, and economic) which characterize interactions between human needs and the natural environment. The principles of mass balance, energy balance, and economic and life cycle concepts are applied to resource evaluation and engineering design. Numerical models are used to simulate various environmental conditions and to examine how they respond to human activities.
