Cross-Cultural Design for an Eco-Responsible Business Model (4 Credits) 跨文化设计：对生态负责的商业模型 Instructor Marc LUCAS ([email protected]), Mines Paris Tech, Paris France Synopsis In this course, you will learn how to analyze and design for an eco-responsible business model. It involves team-working with students from MINES ParisTech, France in a cross-cultural environment on a project provided by a World leading manufacturer, which seeks to implement an ambitious and long-term environmental plan to curtail Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. It offers you an opportunity to improve on an eco-responsible industrial model by learning how to collect and interpret scientific data in GHG of a realistic engineering system, in contrast to the textbook models taught in class. You will be invited to spend some time in a carbon free plant in China to develop a computational model for a realistic method of reducing energy consumption. At the end of the course you will gain real-life professional experience, interaction skills to deal with students of different training, language capabilities and cultures, and a better awareness of the fragile biosphere we all must sustainably live in.
