Science and Technology in NYC

Macaulay Honors College Seminar 3

This course will introduce a number of topics relating to urban sustainability. Students will develop better understandings of the challenges for each of these issues. All of these issues are not only scientific issues, but also complicated by people’s perceptions, politics, culture, finance, market, tradition, etc. Students will learn to think critically and ask the “right” scientific & technological questions, and find solutions for them.
