Ecology And Environment

Course Overview

This course, Ecology and Environment, is designed to introduce and sensitize BTech students to the issues of ecology, environment and sustainability. Through lectures, students will be posed with questions relevant to engineering and management that will help them incorporate sustainability and sensitivity to ecology and environment into their design of products, processes and systems. This course is open to any interested learners and no prerequisites are required.

[Applications]
This course provides learners with a comprehensive understanding of ecology and environment, and how to incorporate sustainability into their designs. Learners can apply the knowledge gained from this course to their own projects, such as designing products, processes, and systems that are more environmentally friendly. Additionally, learners can use the knowledge gained from this course to become more aware of the environmental impacts of their decisions and actions.

[Career Paths]
1. Environmental Scientist: Environmental scientists are responsible for studying the environment and its effects on humans, animals, and plants. They use their knowledge of the natural sciences to develop solutions to environmental problems. Environmental scientists are also responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality of air, water, and soil, as well as developing strategies to reduce pollution and conserve natural resources. This field is expected to grow by 8% over the next decade.

2. Environmental Engineer: Environmental engineers are responsible for designing and developing solutions to environmental problems. They use their knowledge of engineering, biology, and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental issues such as air and water pollution, waste management, and climate change. This field is expected to grow by 8% over the next decade.

3. Environmental Policy Analyst: Environmental policy analysts are responsible for researching and analyzing environmental policies and regulations. They use their knowledge of environmental science and policy to develop strategies to protect the environment and promote sustainability. This field is expected to grow by 11% over the next decade.

4. Environmental Educator: Environmental educators are responsible for educating the public about environmental issues and promoting sustainability. They use their knowledge of environmental science and education to develop educational materials and programs to raise awareness about environmental issues. This field is expected to grow by 11% over the next decade.

[Education Paths]
