This course builds on the learning from the previous course and is a hands-on course with a strong focus on environmentally sustainable practices. Students study design (standards, process, documentation, etc.) and learn to solve problems systematically. Students study product design from the perspective of cradle-to-cradle life cycles. They explore what makes a home, office, or school sustainable and investigate their city with an eye for sustainability. Students research the creation, transmission, and consumption of energy in our society, then engineer solutions to green energy technological problems and build alternative energy projects (sun, wind, water, etc.) to address these issues. Students consider human needs, such as transportation, and learn about problems and solutions regarding sustainability in this area. Finally, students assess their own lifestyles throughout the course to discover ways to work towards an environmentally sustainable world.
