ENVS 360 - Dynamics of Consumption

First Semester.  This course examines the (in)visibility of consumption with respect to energy use, material choices, and human behavior.  Using data on local spaces and ECOTECT software, students will experiment with different forms of analysis and presentation to explore the relationship between sense and understanding.  In 2006, the course will focus on using visual, auditory, and kinesthetic techniques to teach solar movement. Students taking 360 in 2006 are asked to register for ENVS 212, which will provide opportunities for combined research projects with students from PHYS 054, ENVS 316, and TECH 350.
