Description
The field of environmental engineering is rapidly evolving from providing basic sanitary engineering infrastructure (e.g., transport and treatment of drinking and wastewater) and developing processes (e.g., water or wastewater treatment plants) to the management of integrated environmental systems (catchment basins, water resources...). The education of future environmental engineers and scientists has both to provide students with a fundamental background in science and engineering and to prepare the student to work in interdisciplinary teams to tackle the problems of today and in the future. The 18 papers selected here provide an international perspective on environmental engineering education (E3) with a broad overview of the current status and future direction of E3 in developing and industrial countries; an evaluation of key components of E3 such as systems analysis; case studies of innovative approaches in teaching and learning; evaluation of E3 in specific countries. These proceedings are a valuable basis for teachers and engineers around the world to critically evaluate the current status and to further develop E3.
