Engineering for international sustainable development: methods and project work  

The course (2 modules) introduces to different approaches in applying sustainable development in the international context. It examines the contexts (geopolitical, institutional, historical, economic, technological), with the links between environment/climate change and poverty/inequality, and global/local agendas for SD. Then it analyses different implementation methods adopted by a wide range of stakeholders. It adds techniques for: participatory planning, management of environmental conflicts, anthropological analysis (module 1). Then (module 2) it faces an environmental project in a real territory context. Carried on in partnership with international/local actors, it culminates in a field mission, prepared both at technical and project management level. Students learn: to apply their theoretical knowledge to the project, to interact with several public/private actors, to manage projects in multicultural and interdisciplinary contexts.
