               This  course  prepares  students  to  the        This  course  is  designed  to  introduce
               development         of      environmental        students to eco-engineering techniques, as
               management system (EMS) which follows            an  alternative  approach  to  stabilize  and
               ISO14000     template.    Students   shall       sustain  slope.  This  course  emphasizes  on

               In pursuing vast and rapid development in        The  technology  and  management  of
               any country, one cannot avoid sacrificing        hazardous  waste  has  developed  rapidly
               its natural resources. Production of waste       and  dynamically.  Technology  transfers
               is  inevitable  that  waste  management          have made the compliance of the existing
               strategies need to be improved from the          regulations  and  environmental  policy
               ‘out-of-sight-out-of-mind’ concepts into an      achievable.  However  it  is  very  crucial  in
               integrated waste management system. It is        managing  the  hazardous  waste,  one
               imperative  for  countering  public  health      possesses  an  overview  of  the  field.  It
               impacts  of  uncollected  waste  and             includes      identification,    handling,
               environmental  impacts  of  open  dumping        treatment and disposal of hazardous waste
               and  burning.  Besides,  due  to  the            including e-waste. This course is intended
               exhaustion of natural resources and issues       to provide sufficient exposure to the varied
               pertaining  to  climate  change,  a  linear      and  complex  problems  of  hazardous
               economy needs to be tuned-into a circular        waste, as well as, discussing the legislation,
               economy.                                         regulation, and local and foreign impacts
