Undergraduate Certificate in Sustainable Engineering Process Design at University of Colorado Boulder

University of Colorado Boulder, United States

Programme overview

The undergraduate certificate in Sustainable Process Design equips students to assess and evaluate the sustainability and circularity of processes involved in the production and utilization of energy carriers, materials, and chemical products. Students employ engineering calculations and analysis methods to quantify economic and environmental impacts of competing processes. Process modeling tools are applied to complex problems that represent grand challenges for society, such as mitigating the accumulation of plastic waste, the production of abundant clean energy, and the efficient utilization of scarce minerals.
