CE 204 Designing for People, Planet, and Profit

This applied studio course teaches advanced methods that extend design beyond technical function – focusing on the aspects of sustainability, desirability, and profitability. Through a series of structured projects, students will learn to simultaneously apply the many tools that make up a human-centered, ecologically-appropriate, and commercially-focused development process. Building off of the fundamental engineering design methodology, we will layer interdisciplinary approaches to translate technology into solutions to the “triple bottom line” of people, planet, and profit.
