System Design for Sustainability

Designing systems for sustainability

This playlist from NPTEL IIT Guwahati runs to 56 videos and about 44 hours. The title points to system design as the subject: building sustainability goals into how systems are structured from the outset, rather than adding them afterward.

Getting value from a long series

• Work through the early lectures for the systems framing
• Note any design methods that could apply to your own projects
• Revisit lectures when a specific design question comes up

Who it suits

Engineering and design students, and professionals who shape systems in industry, are the natural audience. The source gives only the playlist outline, so the lecture list is the best guide to the detailed topics.
