Environmental Course List
The course list below was developed by Engineers Without Borders (EWB) in January 2007. Course on Energy Systems/Renewable Energy, Sustainability, Development, and the Environment/Climate Change are included. Based on the infrequency of course offerings and the listing of special topics, omissions are expected. EWB will continue to develop this list as we become aware of relevant offerings. (The codes in parenthesis represent the classifications for General Education requirements.)
