Overview
Focus on critical contemporary issues as you present engineering design and technologies within the context of models for managing systems' sustainability with Striebig/Ogundipe/Papadakis/Heine's best-selling ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGN, 2nd Edition. An invaluable resource for today's engineering or applied environmental science students, this updated edition captures readers' interest with current, relevant case studies from across the globe. Expanded active learning exercises for each chapter guide students in applying theory to real situations. New chapters address developing issues and further help bring sustainability science, environmental impact analysis and models of sustainability in engineering practice to the forefront for sophomore to senior undergraduate students. Graduate students also benefit from this interdisciplinary introduction to applied sustainability science. WebAssign digital resources are available to manage your course and track progress.
- EXPANDED CONTENT IS IDEAL FOR TRADITIONAL, FOUNDATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING COURSES. The authors have increased this edition's content and carefully tailored the market-leading approach to make this edition both appealing and well suited for today's undergraduate, foundational environmental engineering course.
- REORGANIZED CONTENT IS LOGICALLY PRESENTED IN THREE KEY SECTIONS. Part 1 addresses the principles behind environmental and sustainability science, while Part 2 discusses today's environmental and sustainable engineering processes. This edition's Part 3 concludes by detailing how to design resilient and sustainable systems.
- NEW CHAPTERS ADDRESS OR EXPAND UPON DEVELOPING TOPICS. A new Chapter 4 now addresses material flow and processes in engineering. Additional new chapters focus on hazards, risks and environmental impact (Ch. 6), wastewater treatment (Ch. 8), materials management and circularity (Ch. 13) as well as precautionary design and alternatives assessment (Ch 14).
- NEW ADDITIONAL HOMEWORK PROBLEMS IN WEBASSIGN PROVIDE ONLINE PRACTICE. New problems and online assignments integrated into this edition's WebAssign digital resources enable you to provide unique homework or even quiz assignments outside of class.
- ADDITIONAL ACTIVE LEARNING EXERCISES STRENGTHEN GROUP INTERACTION. This edition's effective active learning exercises are now expanded to include peer-to-peer learning activities that stimulate meaningful discussion. New exercises include climate and energy simulations with group role-playing activities to prepare students to overcome on-the-job challenges.
- NEW LEARNING OBJECTIVES AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH CHAPTER DIRECT STUDENT ATTENTION TO CRITICAL CONTENT. These new learning objectives are helpful in drawing attention to key points both in the initial reading of the text and in subsequent study and review.
- 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.
- CASE STUDIES AND ACTIVE LEARNING ACTIVITIES KEEP STUDENTS ENGAGED AND PARTICIPATING. Practical case students and active learning experiences throughout keep students focused on the real-world application of what they are learning and provide hands-on opportunities to apply principles.
- COMPLETE SUPPORT PACKAGE PROVIDES HELPFUL DIGITAL RESOURCES FOR EFFICIENT CLASS PREPARATION AND GRADING. This edition provides a complete package for you and your students with an eBook, a password-protected companion website with PowerPoint® presentation slides and other class resources, a solutions manual and WebAssign digital course management resources.
