Industrial Ecology
Industrial ecology combines Business, Environment, & Engineering to shift industrial processes from linear (open loop) systems, where resources move through the system to become waste, to circular (closed loop) systems where waste becomes inputs for new processes. Students will learn life cycle assessment (LCA) to measure environmental impacts.
Outcomes: Students will understand how business and industry can create zero waste systems, how a circular economy works, and the tools of industrial ecology, including life cycle assessment.
