Introduction to Engineering and the Environment offers a fresh, forward-looking approach to undergraduate environmental education, focused on the critical role engineers play in solving environmental problems. The principles of green design, industrial ecology, pollution prevention, and sustainable development are presented as the key elements of good engineering practice in all technical disciplines. [This book] takes a unique, problem-oriented approach to environmental education through selected case studies of major environmental issues. One set of cases applies fundamental principles of science and engineering to the environmental design of modern technologies. Additional cases develop a basic understanding of environmental transport and transformation, addressing such problems as urban air pollution, toxic water pollutants, and globalwarming. Together, these case studies provide broad coverage of modern environmental engineering. - Back cover
