About the Course

Applied Sustainability Engineering, the second course in the "Applied Sustainability for Technical Managers" specialization discusses the techniques used by engineers and scientists to develop and assess the environmental impact of products and processes required to make those products. It begins with a discussion of different renewable energy technologies and their economics 鈥� highlighting how continued reductions in cost have made wind and solar power the least expensive way to generate electricity. It then addresses carbon footprints and how they are determined, applying a practical example where you determine your residential and transportation carbon footprints. From there, the course transitions to defining sustainable and circular products and packaging and showcasing several examples. As Technical Managers, you鈥檒l need metrics for determining whether a product is truly sustainable, so the course introduces techniques such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Streamlined LCA (S-LCA), and the Eco-Audit methodologies. The course concludes with an overview of sustainable product design frameworks, including Cradle-to-Cradle, Design for the Circular Economy, and Biomimicry, just to name a few. This course is very practical, introducing you to several areas critical to managing and learning about sustainability initiatives, from assessing the environmental and social impacts of a product or process, to designing more sustainable and circular products. If you want to work towards having a positive impact on the planet and on society, then this course is for you! This course was developed in collaboration with Siemens Digital Industries Software and is part of the "Design for the Circular Economy" collection. Learners who complete and pass the course can receive an industry-recognized digital badge. The 鈥淒esign for the Circular Economy鈥� microcredential and graduate certificate are developed around the educational goals of providing technical, business, and leadership knowledge and skills that inspire the transformation towards a more circular economy. This includes gaining technical knowledge to apply circular economy principles in product design, minimizing waste and maximizing impact; developing business acumen to implement innovative circular economic models that prioritize sustainability and resilience; and acquiring leadership strategies to communicate effectively and inspire change within an organization. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder鈥檚 Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the 糖心vlog官网观看 platform. The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the ME-EM is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience.

Applied Sustainability Engineering is an exceptionally informative and engaging course offered by Dr.Michael Readey, at the University of Colorado Boulder. I liked the way he teaches with lots of passion & energy. The contents are thought provoking to strive us towards the ambitious goal of achieving net zero emission and ultimately to leave this planet a better place for our future generation. This course has stimulating assignments with grades to deepen our knowledge to expertise in this field. I would highly recommend this course to anyone to specialize in renewables & sustainable solutions. It would be beneficial for Senior Executives who are leading transformative initiatives to reduce carbon emissions across their organizations!

The course is broken, the peer assessments are not graded yet back from 6 months ago so I cannot complete the course and it focuses on stupid primary school plastic collection examples instead of even mentioning the carbon footprint from food.
