This course provides students a flipped classroom and PBL (Problem Based Learning) - approach of the study of sustainability and its practice in Taiwan and especially, on NCHU campus. This course contains four major aspects: (1) responding to social change trends and issues to integrate into learning and future work; develop communication, teamwork, problem solving, and a willingness to continue professional growth through practice and reflection on sustainability; (2) exploring the connotation and case studies of the 17 United Nations SDGs; (3) actually participating in the university’s green campus development; and (4) self-examination and team review of change capabilities and achievements.

The class will be discussion and action oriented on the basis of prior material reading, which the students are expected to complete before class time. Students are asked to take an active initiative to reflect upon and take action for change in the modern global environment and the NCHU campus in particular.
