Explores solutions to sustainability issues that often seem daunting because they are usually approached in a conventional problem-solving methodology (reductionism, analysis of individual parts). Systems thinking is an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving that emphasizes the interactions and connectedness of the different components and how they feedback and affect each other. In this class, students will learn how systems work, understand systems thinking, and apply different systems models to sustainability problems.
