Networking opportunities establish professional connections with industry experts and your cohort.
Access to rich supplementary resources provides additional materials and content for a more thorough educational journey.
What will you learn?
Examine systems theory as a foundation for planning, designing, and operating infrastructure within the natural environment that provides important services to society.
Extensive understanding of all aspects of sustainable infrastructure, from public policy and planning to operations management and data collection.
Calculate the expected net present value and perform a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis to assess the financial viability and long-term benefits of a project.
Sustainability objectives and relevant policies—including concepts, techniques, and measurements—that can be directly integrated into the planning, design, and operation of infrastructure.
Acquire knowledge on utilizing Life-Cycle Assessments and Life-Cycle Sustainability Assessments to identify and develop advanced methods for for enhancing sustainability across multi-industry systems.
All the participants who successfully complete their program will receive an MIT Professional Education Certificate of Completion, as well as Continuing Education Units (CEUs)*.
To obtain CEUs, complete the accreditation confirmation, which is available at the end of the course. CEUs are calculated for each course based on the number of learning hours.
*The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is defined as 10 contact hours of ongoing learning to indicate the amount of time they have devoted to a non-credit/non-degree professional development program.
To understand whether or not these CEUs may be applied toward professional certification, licensing requirements, or other required training or continuing education hours, please consult your training department or licensing authority directly.
