CEE 132L
Engineering the Planet
David E. Schaad, Nathaniel Chaney
Description from DukeHub
Four broad disciplines within civil and environmental engineering will be explored and over-arching experiential projects will apply theory and practice to real-world design problems. The course will examine the societal context of these disciplines and their contributions to and impacts on the built environment. Specifically, the course will examine air, water, land use, shelter, systems, and energy and students will be challenged with issues of economics, social impact, green engineering, sustainable design and building practices.
