Session Description

Taking a human-centered approach to engineering puts people first. This means tackling our world's most complex problems not only through the lens of science and engineering, but also with deep appreciation for and understanding of human behavior, community and society, and the potential for unintended consequences. This course will overview the complex climate change crisis and step through a human-centered process we can use to expedite the path to solutions to save the planet.
