  • SOS 212: Systems, Dynamics, and Sustainability
    • Lower-level undergraduate course introducing computer simulation for quantitative modeling of sustainability challenges, with a particular focus on system dynamics modeling (stock-and-flow diagrams, causal loop diagrams, related tools, and dynamical system modeling approaches).
  • SOS 220: Systems Thinking
    • Lower-level undergraduate course introducing systems thinking, resilience thinking, complex systems, and network science. Provides conceptual frameworks for analyzing and explaining counterintuitive behaviors from systems related to sustainability problems.
  • SOS 325: Economics of Sustainability
    • Undergraduate course introducing the application of economic frameworks to sustainability problems. Students learn basic mathematical models for understanding the economic foundations of why people make decisions that lead to unsustainable resource allocation and how economic thinking can be used to provide appropriate incentives to help ensure sustainability in decentralized markets.
  • BIO 331: Animal Behavior
    • Undergraduate course introducing animal behavior and behavioral ecology, with a particular focus on non-human behavioral examples and general frameworks.
  • IEE 475: Simulating Stochastic Systems
    • Upper-level undergraduate course introducing stochastic simulation, with a particular focus on discrete-event system simulation for industrial applications.
  • IEE/CSE 598: Bio-Inspired AI and Optimization
    • Graduate-level survey of a wide variety of nature-inspired approaches to artificial intelligence and optimization.
