CEVE 302: SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
SIT: Australia
ENVI 3000: Sustainability and Environmental Action Seminar
The goal of the course is to inspire students to take action to help make the world more sustainable and to give them the tools to do so. Throughout the semester, students are introduced to the natural environment of different regions in Australia, helping to instill a sense of place and serving as a basis for understanding the varying environmental issues in each region. The seminar starts at the personal level by first exploring psychological issues related to environmental problems and then examining a whole range of environmental philosophies and encouraging each student to reflect on and develop her/his own environmental philosophy and ethics throughout the semester. The Aboriginal Studies component of the course gives insights into an entirely different way of looking at the environment and resources, and enables students to explore the constructed character of perceptions about nature and environment. The course then addresses what changes can be made at the level of government and industry to promote sustainability. Field trips illustrate the environmental impacts and innovative sustainable solutions in a range of industries, including agriculture, forestry, energy production, waste disposal, residential development and tourism. The conservation of biodiversity and the management of protected areas such as national parks and world heritage sites are also examined during field trips. Finally, the course examines the processes of social change and how people can take effective action to achieve environmental goals. The course consists of a series of lectures, four main workshops, and a series of one-day field trips in Northern New South Wales. There is also a two-week field trip to Tasmania, Melbourne and Sydney, and a four-day Aboriginal field trip. All elements have associated readings.

FOST 3209: Renewable Energy Systems A
Current environmental issues, climate change, global social injustice, and the impacts of these on ecosystems and societies have led us to radically rethink our current energy systems. It is necessary for us to understand how humanity became so dependent upon fossil fuels, and it is even more important for us to understand what other alternative energies exist. This class will examine the technical, economic, and political aspects of renewable energy, and students will learn about the successes and failures of implementing alternative energies at the local, national, and regional levels. This class will focus on the Danish energy experience by exploring different renewable energy technologies (wind, solar, biofuel, etc.) and the strengths and weaknesses of different policy options (feed-in tariffs, quotas, etc.).

FOST 3201: Getting There - Transportation in Urban Europe
Moving people around within cities - getting them to and from work, school, and play - is complex problem that defies simple solutions. In this course we will experience urban mobility from a multitude of angles. We will consider how the urban form of a city structures, facilitates, and restricts movement and social interaction and how individuals may experience the same space differently. We will talk about what makes a city or neighborhood livable, and we will consider the effectiveness of various transportation policies. Additionally, you will be able to develop your own serious game in order to understand the complex interactions between city structure, form, and the people that make a city move. Copenhagen provides an exceptionally rich laboratory for students of urban transportation. The city is famed for its conscious planning and policy that has made it one of the better cities in the world for public transport, bicycling, and walking. With this in mind, we will discuss how Copenhagen broke with the dominant modern pattern of auto-centricity and evaluate if this is a model that other cities could/should emulate in the future.
