Environmental Impacts of Engineering Decisions

By James C. O'Shaughnessy and John Bergendahl

The analysis of environmental impacts of engineering decisions has been underemphasized in undergraduate engineering education outside of environmental engineering departments. Exploring a broad range of topics, Environmental Impacts of Engineering Decisions reveals the environmental impacts of the products, processes, and systems that engineers design. The text introduces engineering students of all disciplines to concepts that will help them understand the ramifications of their engineering decisions in a social, economic, and global context. Case studies reinforce and augment the material and illustrate the reality and appropriateness of the discussion.
