Students talk about their seminar experience "I've learned to see the world in a very different way. It's very complex." "A whole new integrated way of looking at environmental issues." "I had such an amazing experience - thank you." "This seminar has been a scholarly recharging." "Spending a lot of time with others in a short amount of times results in a type of bonding not found in a large classroom...talking with others from other schools is enlightening." |
Earth Systems Engineering -

A principal result of the Industrial Revolution and associated changes in human demographics, technology systems, cultures, and economic systems has been the evolution of an Earth in which the dynamics of major natural systems are increasingly affected by human activity. This anthropogenic - human-made - planet, the Human Earth, is new to history and our experience, and something for which our science, culture, and ethical systems are completely unprepared. It is, however, already in existence, and demands our rational and ethical attention. |
