The close relations between the Science and EngineeringDepartments within SEMS led to this new interdisciplinary minor and remain its largeststrength. Many of these courses were developed with input from a number of differentfaculty from both the Engineering and Science departments, and the minor continues todraw from this diverse pool of expertise.The six courses that are currently part of the minor were chosen for multiple reasons. Thefirst reason, is that the courses should encompass a broad spectrum of topics from life cycleassessment and sustainable
