Thinking in Systems
SUST505
Description
Solving complex sustainability problems requires you to take a multi-dimensional perspective. As a sustainability professional, you integrate environmental, social, and economic aspects with intergenerational thinking and consideration of nonhumans to find ways to improve life for everyone. In this class, students will troubleshoot major issues by adopting a comprehensive outlook in order to discover leverage points that can be used to manage trade-offs, prevent or respond to disruptions, or optimize performance. Students will map systems and model their interrelated components to become more proficient in communicating problems to others, analyzing alternative interventions, and making more sustainable decisions.
