Center for Sustainable Engineering Studies

A group of SCU professors and students believe that sustainability can be quantified and measured in order to help individuals increase their levels of sustainability and make informed choices. The Center for Sustainable Engineering Studies is committed to enabling sustainability through well-defined and rational metrics, system integration synergies, technologies to inform consumption choices, and industry/university collaboration to build on and enable sustainable living.
