Decription:

Environmental issues contain some of the gravest problems that face the earth, and engineers have a key role to play. But does a traditional engineering education prepare engineers to deal with these problems?

The Environmentally Educated Engineer - Focus on Fundamentals addresses the issues involved in the education of environmentally concerned engineers. It is based on a three-day international workshop held in Christchurch, New Zealand, in August 1994. The purpose of the workshop was to develop a fundamental raitonale and framework on which courses and qualifications for environmentally-educated engineers should be based.

The workshop was sponsored by the Association for Engieering Education in South East Asia and the Pacific, UNESCO, the World Federation of Engineering Organisations, the Centre for Advanced Engineering and the International Association for Continuing Engineering Education.
