Course Objective

The objective of this course is to give a complete and systematic vision for the environmental and resource issues which industrial engineering has been a contributor and also for which industrial engineers can offer the solutions. Industrial engineers should give attention to integrated industry-society-environment interactions and use natural resources more efficiently and minimize waste generation due to the limited natural resources, rapidly growth of population, growing industrial activities and increasing standards of living.
