Practical advice on sustainable (green) engineering from a world-renowned environmental engineering and remediation firm Bringing together the real-world insights of engineers from the engineering and construction firm O'Brien & Gere and the teaching experiences of respected engineering educators, Strategic Environmental Management for Engineers offers both practitioners and students the principles, tools, and motivation to design and implement engineering projects in harmony with sustainable development.
Strategic Environmental Management for Engineers builds on the evolution of environmental practice-from hazardous waste cleanup and effluent control to preemptive prevention of pollution to proactive green engineering. Real-world insights come from the authors' experience working with such high-profile clients as DaimlerChrysler, Bristol-Myers Squibb, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Department of Energy.
Helpful coverage in Strategic Environmental Management for Engineers includes:
- All key environmental management tools, including life-cycle assessment, environmental metrics, extended producer responsibility, ISO 14000 environmental management systems, and "zero waste" options
- Valuable support for implementing SEM into an organization by function (e.g., R&D, engineering design, production, etc.) and by typical industry processes (e.g., papermaking, ethanol production, aluminum production, automobile manufacturing, etc.)
Strategic Environmental Management for Engineers is a valuable resource for all engineers, project managers in industry, environmental attorneys, and environmental administrators and regulators, as well as students.
