The goal of this project was to move sustainability from where it is today, in the pre-paradigm phase, to the realms of normal science, where sustainability can be deployed to help organizations, not limited to the aviation and aerospace fields, accomplish goals such as increasing profits, reducing risk, remaining agile, and addressing common threats within their industry The proposed work did enhance the understanding of sustainability as a discipline and increased the reach of our Worldwide program. It was also a great venue to market our certificate offering along with our Master's degree.
