EENS 3720 Infrastructure of Sustainable Urban Environments
Infrastructure of Sustainable Urban Environments
Selected elements of the urban physical infrastructure serve as starting points to illustrate concepts from underlying science fields. The central question is “What makes a sustainable city work?” Specifically, the course introduces and reinforces key concepts from physics, chemistry, microbiology and environmental science. The course is divided into four segments, each including a field trip to a site in the New Orleans area that will provide opportunities for experimental learning and first-hand observation of relevant physical phenomena.
