Ecology And Environment

About Course

Ecology and Environment.

The objectives of the course are to introduce and sensitize all BTech students to the issue of ecology, environment, and sustainability. The lectures are aimed at posing various questions that are relevant for all students of engineering and management to incorporate sustainability and a sensitivity to ecology & environment in their design of products, processes, and systems.
