Goal
Goal
Evaluate the impact of renewable wind energy as societies address the problem of climate change
Role
Role
You are part of an interdisciplinary team that will use their knowledge of Design, Math, and Science to develop a turbine design. You will use the Triple-Bottom--Line (TBL) framework to evaluate your design and propose a direction for further development of wind energy on Jeju Island.
Audience
Audience
Your findings will be presented to the local stakeholders to evaluate the effectiveness of continued development of wind energy on the island.
Situation
Situation
Jeju Island has set a goal to reduce carbon emissions and develop a sustainable economy. However, this is easier said than done. Becoming a sustainable society and economy requires a deep understanding of the environmental, social, and financial impacts of decisions.
