CIVE 210 - Sustainability in Civil Engineering

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 45

Restricted to students in Civil Engineering Bridge to UVIC
Students will learn the foundations of sustainability in engineering topics. Students will use tools for evaluating and quantifying sustainability through goal-based approaches, considering Indigenous methodologies, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, environmental indicators, and life cycle assessment. System-based and industrial ecology frameworks are used in evaluating case studies and policy reviews. Sustainability on a global, regional, and local perspective is evaluated and applied to decision making. Students synthesize and apply their learning in a sustainability-centred design project.
