ENTR 190 Community and Global Resilience in Energy Transitions
This course examines how energy systems and climate impacts reinforce longstanding social and economic inequities. Students will investigate who benefits and who is burdened, historically and today, across local and global contexts. Through a systems thinking lens, students will explore how natural and social systems are interconnected, interdependent, and shaped by dynamic feedback loops. Using this holistic approach, students will assess real-world case studies, identify leverage points for change, and analyze community-level climate and energy strategies from within and beyond the U.S.
Emphasizing applied learning, students will engage in collaborative projects and comparative case analysis to develop actionable insights and equity-centered solutions. The course equips students with the systems literacy, effective engagement tools and techniques, and strategic frameworks needed for leadership in the energy transition and climate resilience field.
