ENGR 2315 - Engineering and Design for the Developing World

Credits: 3

Engineering design in the developed world takes for granted the availability of several key resources such as construction material, water, and electricity. This course examines engineering design in the absence of these resources, with a focus on the development of shelter and sanitation in an efficient manner. Emphasis on understanding the total energy cycle of a structure and multiple alternative energy solutions. Additional topics include developing solutions for extreme low-cost, high-population densities and ecological sustainability. Students work in interdisciplinary teams to design and build energy-efficient homes and sustainable sanitation options and to investigate alternative energy systems. Prerequisite: PHYS 1303 . Corequisites: ENGR 2320 and sophomore or above standing.
