3.11.1. Master of Science in Sustainability Management

Lead Faculty: Ben Radhakrishnan

This blended program prepares students for the industrial revolution of the 21 st century. There is no doubt

that we need to re-think our way of living, producing and consuming in order to eliminate the current contra-

dictions between the natural world, the community and the profitability of businesses. In fact, many corpora-
tions, cities, states and countries are introducing new policies and programs from an emphasis on pollution

control to pollution prevention to sustainable practices. Sustainability in the sense that programs do incorpo-

rate all social, ecological and economic conditions, as well as, the general principle of meeting the needs of

the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

This program is designed to provide methods and theories appropriate to the study of sustainability from bu-

siness perspectives to practical engineering. After a comprehensive interdisciplinary introduction to sustaina-

bility, students are exposed to managerial key ideas and practices with sustainable perspectives: risk assess-

ment, life cycle, lean supply chain, firm excellence and innovation. Students are also exposed to combine
engineering and sustainability concepts into the management practices of energy, environment, watershed

and buildings. The strength of the program comes from its engineering and management blended nature, as

well as its theoretical and practical approach.
