3.9. University of Michigan

3.9.1. Engineering Sustainable Systems

Launched in the fall of 2007, the dual degree confers a master of science (M.S.) degree from the School of

Natural Resources and Environment (SNRE) and a master of science in engineering (M.S.E.) from the Colle-

ge of Engineering (CoE).

Global climate change, energy security, ecological degradation, environmental threats to human health and

resource scarcity are critical sustainability challenges for the 21st century. Sustainability is based upon the

ability to meet societal needs within the context of economical and ecological constraints. This dual degree
provides the tools necessary to help meet those needs. The program trains graduate students to protect, resto-

re and create engineered and natural systems that are socially, environmentally and economically sustainable.

Graduates have the engineering and sustainability foundations to command jobs domestically and internatio-

nally with engineering consulting firms, research and development labs in the private and public sectors, go-

vernment agencies and NGOs.

3.10. MIT

3.10.1. Sustainable and Global Development

Course 2-A concentration consists of 72 units of upper level subjects

Two tracks are possible in this program. One track, in Engineering for Sustainability, is intended for students
interested in work on sustainability in the context of US industry or in other industrialized settings. The other

track, in Engineering for International Development, is intended for students interested in applications of te-

chnology for the developing world. Many of the classes listed below are relevant to both US and Internatio-

nal concentrations.

This track can be coupled to the minor programs in Environmental Engineering Science or Applied Interna-

tional Studies, as well as several HASS minors (recall that courses in your concentration may also be coun-

ted towards your minor).

One of the tricky aspects of putting together a 2-A curriculum in sustainability is that there are many excel-
