"Lessons" for Building Sustainable Communities

This course will allow students to develop critical thinking skills in a real world environment. Students will refine these skills by addressing concrete community concerns through hands-on problem solving through the application of a science-based approach to generate evidence–based sustainable solutions. This course will involve team problem solving and mentoring by upper-division students (see NSCI 3000). This course is designed to introduce students to investigating the sustainability of the HPU and local Hawaii communities and to identifying potential solutions to the problems these communities face.
