  • ESD 00: Introduction to Engineering Systems

    2.00 Credits
    Massachusetts Institute of Technology

    Students work on projects to address large, complex and seemingly intractable real-world problems, such as energy supply, environmental issues, health care delivery, and critical infrastructure (e.g., telecommunications, water supply, and transportation). Introduces interdisciplinary approaches - rooted in engineering, management, and the social sciences - to considering these critical contemporary issues. Small, faculty-led teams select an engineering systems term project to illustrate one or more of these approaches. Prerequisite:    Prereq: None
