CHEG 5250 - Sustainable Earth Resources Engineering

As global population sources, the demand for food, water, and energy will likewise intensify while supplies are becoming increasingly scarce. This course will examine the state of the art and basic scientific and engineering principles that underlie food, energy, and water production technologies with an emphasis on their interdependence. Potential engineering solutions for enhancing efficiency and sustainability will be discussed. This course is intended for engineering students interested in topics of bio-energy, energy efficiency, and water resources engineering and sustainability.

Credits: 3 hours

Notes: Open to upperclass and graduate students.
