Course Description:
Environmental Engineering course offered in 5th semester, which focuses on water supply
engineering and wastewater treatment, solid waste management and air pollution. The
course enables students to work as a consultant and or contractor for infrastructure projects
related to water supply and waste management projects. This course intends to build the
competency in the students to identify water source, to check water quality, to design of
water supply scheme and wastewater treatment plant. Also this course enables student to
control environmental degradation.

 Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineering is a professional
engineering discipline that encompasses broad
scientific topics
 Chemistry, biology, ecology, geology,
hydraulics,hydrology, microbiology, and
mathematics to create solutions that will protect
and also improve the health of living organisms
and improve the quality of the environment
Environmental engineering is a sub-discipline of
civil engineering and chemical engineering. While
on the part of civil engineering, the Environmental
Engineering is focused mainly on Sanitary
Engineering

11
 Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineering is the application of
scientific and engineering principles to improve and
maintain the environment to:
 protect human health,
 protect nature's beneficial ecosystems,
 and improve environmental-related enhancement
of the quality of human life

Environmental engineers devise solutions for

wastewater management, waste and air pollution
Control, recycling, waste disposal, and
public health.

They design municipal water supply and

industrial wastewater treatment systems

 Industrial Revolutions
Industry means any business, trade, undertaking, manufactures, calling employers and include any
calling, service, employment, handicraft or industrial occupation or avocation of workmen

14
 Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 is the digital transformation

of manufacturing/production and
related industries and value creation
processes. Industry 4.0 is used
interchangeably with the
fourth industrial revolution and represents
a new stage in the organization and control
of the industrial value chain.

15
Linear Economy

An economy based on 'take-make-dispose' is called

as linear economy. The approach of linear
economy involves the process of collection of raw
material for transformation of them into finished
goods and distribution until the customer until they
are accumulated as waste.

Disadvantages of Linear Economy:

The ecological disadvantage of the linear economy is that the
production of goods is at the expense of the productivity of our
ecosystems. Excessive pressure on these ecosystems jeopardizes
the provision of essential ecosystem services, such as water, air and
soil cleaning
In addition to the damage caused by the linear economy to the
provision of ecosystem services, this economic model also
jeopardizes the supply of materials. This uncertainty is caused by
fluctuating raw material prices, scarce materials, geopolitical
dependence on different materials and increasing demand.
16
 Circular Economy

A circular economy is a systemic approach

to economic development designed to benefit
businesses, society, and the environment. In contrast to
the 'take-make-waste' linear model, a circular
economy is regenerative by design and aims to
gradually decouple growth from the consumption of
finite resources. 17
