Innovating Sustainability Education through the “Bird’s Eye” Perspective

Various disciplines were used to define sustainability through their lens and set an education space that integrated students into finding needed and creative solutions for the problems affecting their community. This was done through the creation of an University Honors course that took 13 students and put them into a class split into two parts: setting a base foundation of sustainability knowledge through learning the views and struggles of different disciplines every week and then building a sustainability project that caters to the needs of the community. This class was used to create an education experience that is responsive to the world\u27s needs and empowers students to be the people to find needed solutions. The course hopes to inspire higher education to move towards experiential and interdisciplinary teaching methods
