图书简介
ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS IN SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT is an invaluable resource for today’s engineering student. Focusing on pressing contemporary issues, the text puts product design in the context of models of sustainability. Relevant case studies from across the globe will be of interest to engineers in training, and active learning exercises in each chapter help students learn to apply theory to real world situations.
The book is appropriate for all junior/senior level engineering design courses and courses that cover sustainability in engineering practice. Instructors will benefit from having the first book to bring sustainability science, environmental impact analysis, and models of sustainability to the undergraduate level.
