The goal is to discover the universe of cleantech solutions to our most pressing environmental challenges and to raise awareness of how you might be part of that solution.  You’ll form teams around problems you identify, and present your solutions to the class.  Although not required, teams are invited to compete in theUW Environmental Innovation Challenge April 3, 2014.
The seminar consists of a selection of required readings and a series of industry experts who will speak on a specific cleantech topic. You will work in teams to present a proposed solution to an environmental problem. The final deliverable for the class is a 5-10 minute presentation.
Required Text: The Way Out: Kick-Starting Capitalism to Save Our Economic Ass, by L. Hunter Lovins and Boyd Cohen.  Course topics will include:
  • Environmental challenges and opportunities linked to cleantech.
  • How to translate an idea into an actual device/product/company 
  • Market assessment (who would be the customer for this product or service?)

This course counts for the ‘policy and decision-making’ requirement of the major or minor in Environmental Studies.
