CIEG 662 - Transportation Sustainability

Credit(s): 3

TRANSPORTATION SUSTAINABILITY
Component: Lecture
Emphasize real-world analysis methods to examine the sustainability topic from a practitioner’s point of view. Theories supporting aspects of sustainability will be presented and discussed but the goal of the class is to critically review the state of the practice technical tools that are currently used (or shortly will be) primarily by agencies and consulting firms to evaluate sustainable communities, land uses, and transport systems. Prior knowledge or expertise in the techniques is not needed; the class will walk students through examples of Geographic Information System (GIS) and other computer-based methods, and any need to use “live” software to complete homework problems will be done during classes.
