Book Description
The discipline of environmental engineering is young and rapidly evolving. Once viewed largely as a sub-set of civil engineering, with a particular focus on water sanitation, it has now grown to engage with all aspects of the human and terrestrial environment. Beyond this fact however, there is much debate on the definition of environmental engineering and on its intersections and overlaps with other more traditional fields of engineering. This development poses problems for those constructing programmes of study for the next generations of environmental engineers. These selected proceedings reflect the lively debate that started with differing views on the scope of environmental engineering. Though concentrating on environmental education in European countries, very fruitful comparisons were drawn with the situation in the USA and Japan. The differences in curricular content and educational philosophy are examined, as are attempts to overcome the barriers of culture, language and the varying modes of certification of practising engineers. These proceedings will help to set a framework that can move these debates forward and will be highly valuable to all engineers and educationalists concerned with the future of environmental engineering education and the wider role of the engineering profession.

Book Description
Environmental engineers support the well-being of people and the planet in areas where the two intersect. Over the decades the field has improved countless lives through innovative systems for delivering water, treating waste, and preventing and remediating pollution in air, water, and soil. These achievements are a testament to the multidisciplinary, pragmatic, systems-oriented approach that characterizes environmental engineering. Environmental Engineering for the 21st Century: Addressing Grand Challenges outlines the crucial role for environmental engineers in this period of dramatic growth and change. The report identifies five pressing challenges of the 21st century that environmental engineers are uniquely poised to help advance: sustainably supply food, water, and energy; curb climate change and adapt to its impacts; design a future without pollution and waste; create efficient, healthy, resilient cities; and foster informed decisions and actions.

Book Description
Environmental engineering protects the conditions of a safe environment, its role being crucial in eliminating ecological threats. It has an interdisciplinary character, utilising principles from biology, chemistry, biochemistry and physics to neutralize pollutants in all facets of the environment. Environmental engineering deals with a wide range of technical and technological problems, including the design and maintenance of water supply, sewage disposal, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning in buildings. This proceedings aims to assess the state of scientific research in various areas of environmental engineering; to evaluate organizational, technical and technological progress in contributing to ecological security; and to determine the place of environmental engineering in sustainable development, taking into account current political and economic conditions. Environmental Engineering is an invaluable source of information and ideas for the international environment engineering scientific community.

Advances in Engineering Education in the Middle East and North Africa
Author: Mahmoud AbdulwahedPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319153234
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
This book provides a collection of the latest advances in engineering education in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and sheds insights for future development. It is one of the first books to address the lack of comprehensive literature on undergraduate engineering curricula, and stimulates intellectual and critical discourse on the next wave of engineering innovation and education in the MENA region. The authors look at recent innovations through the lens of four topics: learning and teaching, curriculum development, assessment and accreditation, and challenges and sustainability. They also include analyses of pedagogical innovations, models for transforming engineering education, and methods for using technological innovations to enhance active learning. Engineering education topics on issues such as construction, health and safety, urban design, and environmental engineering in the context of the MENA region are covered in further detail. The book concludes with practical recommendations for implementations in engineering education. This is an ideal book for engineering education academics, engineering curriculum developers and accreditation specialists, and deans and leaders in engineering education.
