| 3 hours Topic: An Entrepr Appr to Green Engr. As in the past, the future business opportunities for engineers and scientists will involve solving the world?s biggest and most important problems. Technological breakthroughs in pollution control, resource utilization, and protecting human health and the environment will drive new businesses, services, and potentially create a business revolution on the scale of the industrial revolution. This course is designed to introduce engineering students to global environmental issues in the context of applying entrepreneurial principals and market forces towards solutions. Students will actively engage in the examination of a critical environmental issue in their particular engineering discipline and explore solutions that make sense in a free enterprise business framework. It is envisioned that this course and similar courses can change the prevailing notion that entrepreneurship is inherently in conflict with the over consumption of goods and natural resources, and that entrepreneurs themselves are not particularly concerned about the social welfare of the planet.
