Green Engineering for a Sustainable Environment
Description: This course will study the issue
of green engineering ideas in pursuit of “sustainable technology”
which is emerging as a critical one in advanced industrial societies.
By sustainable technology we mean the development of environmentally
benign processes that have minimal adverse impact on the surrounding
earth’s ecosystem. This new course will provide an introduction
to these issues, focusing upon renewable clean energy technologies,
like electrochemically based fuel cell driven power systems that
use hydrogen gas as the input fuel, and the prospects for solar
power in the future. We will also discuss the current regulatory
context and growing interest in this topic amid the world-wide
debate about the greenhouse effect, climate change and the potential
for global warming
