Course Objective

The objectives of this course is to provide perspective, background, methods, and data to introduce students to one of the central issues of environmental concerns, that surrounding the use of materials, and to equip them to make their own judgments. It does not aim to provide ultimate solutions. It aims to cut through some of the oversimplification and misinformation that is all too obvious in much discussion about the environment, explaining the ways in which we depend on and use materials and the consequences of their use. It introduces methods for thinking about and designing with materials when one of the objectives is to minimize environmental impact an objective that is often in conflict with others particularly that of minimizing cost.
