Students who will complete this course can achieve the following course learning outcomes (CLOs):
FUNDAMENTALS OF SUSTAINABILITY- SUS 20- GRADE 10
This course is a continuation of SUS 10 (Introduction to Sustainability). Students will use their so far accomplished knowledge to understand a richer awareness into the innumerable aspects of the causes, and examples, of the problems and situations raised by climate factors. As the climate factors negatively impact sustainability, the students will learn to research the issues in detail, for example, a) air quality, air pollution and its impact on environment; b) greenhouse gases and their effects; c) water pollution from industries, hospitals, factories etc and thus impacting sustainability, d) Chemical plants, factories and refineries devastating the sustainability etc. Moreover, these days, the unacceptable managing of plastic waste has conducted plastic pollution, in both macroplastic and microplastic form, that has turned out to be pervasive in the environment. Plastic pollution has been discovered on coastlines and in surface waters, residues, soil, groundwater, indoor and outdoor air, drinking water and food. The students will do extensive research and come up with solutions so that the above-mentioned pollutions are reduced and pose positive impact to both human body, environment and overall the sustainability system.
