Green Design Institute Educational Initiatives

The Green Design Institute includes environmental education efforts targeting the high school, undergraduate, graduate, and life-long learning levels.

Undergraduate and graduate students at CMU are offered elective courses that provide a deeper understanding of scientific, engineering, economic, social, and policy issues relating to the environment.

Software for educational and professional use has also been developed by the Green Design Institute. The economic input-output life cycle assessment software www.eiolca.net has been used in university classes at Carnegie Mellon, in the United States, and abroad.
