Course Objective

To learn the various engineering techniques and management approaches for the prevention and control of air pollution, water pollution and pollution due to urban solid waste and hazardous waste.

Course Outcome

["Students will be able to attain ability to choose the most suitable technique for air pollution monitoring and control technique for a given application.", "Students will be able to describe suitable techniques for water treatments and control technique for water pollution management.", "Students will be able to identify the techniques for the disposal and management of urban solid wastes and hazardous wastes", "Students will be able to demonstrate the ability to recognize the tools for environmental management in industries.", "Students will be able to demonstrate an ability to recognize the type of health care waste and processes involved in Transport & storage of waste treatment and disposal of health care waste"]
