Research Proposal on Environmental Engineering Program at...

Introduction The study will seek to find out the possibility of introducing an environmental engineering program at Laurentian University. The issue of environment is one that has become very important for human beings and as such, more knowledge is needed to come up with positive solutions for all. The Laurentian University has a track record in producing engineers who are highly reputable and as such it is well placed to offer these courses to students. An environmental engineering program will combine all the divisions of science, which can make a difference in people’s daily lives. This program will be able to help the students who attend to acquire knowledge, which can assist them come up with workable solutions to the most†¦show more content†¦This will help students to find the best and possible ways through which they can come up with solutions that are workable and practical. It is intended that the course will help students to carry out research on how to manage several environmental projects and how to perform the necessary controls on various aspects of environmental management (Harbold 74). The program will make it easy for these students to get more knowledge on how to reduce air and water pollution, and make them aware of the benefits of recycling. Waste management is one of the key areas that the environmental engineering course will seek to cover because this has become a very critical issue in many cities worldwide. Therefore, the program will show the students the best methods through which waste can be managed and the benefits that can be felt by the society as a result of proper management of this waste. Properly trained environmental engineers can offer quality advice to people within the society on the best waste management practices they can use (Harbold 78). The issue of recycling is one that has gained a lot of importance especially in the area of waste management. Some of the materials that are disposed off as waste cannot decay naturally and they require recycling or other forms of disposal that do not endanger the environment. Waste that contains plastic s, lead or mercury components are high contaminants that need to be recycled instead of being disposed off in
