Sustainability Engineering concerns responsible use of the world's finite natural resources in a manner which will not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This requires Engineers to make optimum use of energy and materials, to mitigate any associated environmental impacts, and to fully embrace concepts such as life cycle analysis, disassembly and recycling within the design process. This course will produce well-balanced fully aware sustainability management and development practitioners who are able to analyse and assess the essence of sustainability issues and to formulate the required strategy to implement practical sustainable development solutions in business and society. Business is seeking a practical framework to meet the challenge of achieving sustainable development. This course aims to provide that framework by: providing an overview of methodology, technology and management tools that could be used to narrow the 'sustainable gap' developing an overall awareness of the real causes of environmental degradation developing the awareness of the relevant scientific and engineering principles fundamental to the understanding of the problem and solution to this environmental degradation. Scholarship Opportunity Scottish Funding Council has made available 20 scholarships covering fees only to students with Scottish backgrounds.
