e-Learning Modules

Despite the clear need for collaboration between climate scientists and civil engineers to address and adapt to climate change impacts, there are limited post-secondary educational and training resources available to students at the climate science-engineering interface. To address this gap, the CSE, in collaboration with the University of Western Ontario, has developed eight e-learning modules at the science-engineering interface for senior undergraduate and graduate engineering and climate science students. These modules can be used in sequence or stand-alone and cover the following topics:

Introduction to Climate Science and Modelling | Prof. Paul Kushner
Regional Downscaling | Prof. Karen Smith
Flood Risk | Prof. Reza Najafi
Climate Change and Wind Loading | Prof. Oya Mercan
Impact of a Changing Climate of Building Performance | Prof. Marianne Touchie
Energy Systems | Prof. Graeme Norval
Traffic-related Air Pollutants | Prof. Marianne Hatzopoulou
Introduction to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) | Prof. Daniel Posen
