A 5-credit course focused on transportation & sustainability on the UW Campus, centered around a quarter-long team project.
About the Class
Sustainability Studio is a hands-on exploration of making change for sustainability on our campus. This is an undergraduate class centered around student projects on the sustainability of UW campus operations.
Coursework and assignments involve both an overview of the concepts and methods of sustainability, and an opportunity for students to learn important skills in applied research, multi‐stakeholder collaboration, and professional communication.
About Transportation & Sustainability
In Washington State, transportation accounts for more than 40% of our total greenhouse gas emissions, making our transportation choices inextricably linked to bigger questions about climate change and sustainability.
Here at the University of Washington, an institution of more than 50,000, getting to and from the campus create more than 25% of the University’s emissions.
With a staff and a student body committed to sustainability, there are plenty of opportunities to advance more sustainable transportation—and this class is your chance to explore that!
