Project Duration

May 2016 - Dec 2017

Project Description

The project funding aims to support a CEI staff member, with a small amount of funding for student interns. The key deliverable has been the development of the course Introduction to Sustainability (SUST 1000). The course was approved for inclusion in the undergraduate common core in June 2016 and was successfully delivered in the Fall and Spring terms 2016 and the Fall term 2017. It is being delivered again in Spring 2018.

Project Outcome

The course is successfully evolving toward a fully-flipped form of blended-learning, with knowledge outcomes chiefly achieved through student review of online materials, while in-class time is used for a wide range of learning activities.

The course is interdisciplinary and has provided a vehicle for faculty across The Schools to be involved in The evolution of The curriculum and The delivery of The classes.
