Frequently asked questions

How do I enroll in or join my course?

Your instructor will tell you how to access your course. You may join through your school’s LMS, a course link or a course key. If you’re unsure which method to use, check with your instructor.

How do I redeem an access code, or what if my code isn't working?

Sign in to your Cengage account and select Enter Access Code or Course Key, then enter your access code and select Register. If your code is damaged, missing or still doesn't work, contact Cengage Support.

Why can't I access my course?

How you access your course depends on how your instructor set it up. Start from your LMS, course link or course key. If you've purchased access but still can't open the course, Cengage Help can help you troubleshoot your access.

Where can I find my eBook or textbook?

You can access available eBooks from your Cengage student dashboard or from your Cengage course. If your class uses an LMS, your instructor may also provide access there.

What if I don't have access to my course materials yet?

Temporary access may be available for some Cengage courses. If offered, you can use your course during the grace period and purchase or register your access code before it ends. Options for expired access vary by product.

THIS AWARD-WINNING TEXT IS THE FIRST TO BRING SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING ISSUES TO UNDERGRADUATE COURSES. This best-seller is the first textbook to focus on sustainability science, environmental impact analysis, systems approaches and models of sustainability at the undergraduate level.

CONTENT IS IDEAL FOR UPPER-LEVEL UNDERGRADUATE LEVEL STUDENTS. The authors have carefully crafted an approach for sophomore-to-senior undergraduate students. The text is well suited for courses in engineering, environmental engineering, applied environmental science, engineering design and sustainability in engineering practice.

APPROACH WORKS WELL FOR GRADUATE COURSES. This edition's interdisciplinary introduction to applied sustainability science is complete and challenging enough for graduate as well as undergraduate study.

STUDENTS LEARN SPECIFIC METHODS FOR QUANTIFYING SUSTAINABILITY. This edition teaches readers how to quantify sustainability as they learn through environmental impacts, case studies, life-cycle analysis models and design impacts.
