| ENEE5006 | RODUCT AND PROCESS DESIGN FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ENGG | Major | ENEE5006 is a introductory course of design for environment (DfE) as applied ot the assessment of product of process alternatives. DfE is undertaken using life cycle analysis (LCA) and other sustainability concepts (e.e. P2/CP or pollucion prevention/cleaner production) that are illustrated through case studies, software demos, and product dissection projects. An integrated, problem-based approach is employed and students are expected to make use of available LCA programs for the analysis or real or realistic case studies |
| ENE501M | Environmental Engineering | Major | This course introduces a broad spectrum of end-of-pipe treatment technologies for liquid effluents, air emissions, and solid wastes. |
| ENE502M | Strategic Planning and Management | Major | This course provides a framework wherein environmental considerations are incorporated into an organization’s plans and activities. Topics covered include risk analysis, risk management, and forecasting. |
| ENE503M | Environmental Laws, Standard, and Ethics | Major | Focuses on environmental aspects of conventional and alternative energy technologies. Covers current and anticipated Philippine environmental legislation as well as international treaties, protocols, and standards (e.g., Kyoto Protocol, ISO 14000). |
| ENE504M | Total Environmental Quality Management | Major | Integrates Quality Management Principles and Tools with Environmental Decision-Making, Particularly in Manufacturing Contexts. |
| ENE505M | Environmetrics | Major | Introduces statistical, probability and numerical techniques for the analysis of environmental data. This course is equivalent to and replaces CHE6650. |
| ENE506M | Product and Process Design for Environmental Engineering | Major | This course is an introductory course of Design for Environment (DfE) as applied to the assessment of product or process alternatives. Design for Environment is undertaken using Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and other sustainability concepts (e.g., P2/CP or pollution prevention/cleaner production) that are illustrated through the case studies, software demos, and product dissection projects. An integrated, problem-based approach is employed and students are expected to make use of available LCA programs for the analysis of real or realistic case studies. |
| ENE507M | Environmental Management Policy: Law, Economics and Technology | Major | A policy is a deliberate system of principles to guide decisions and achieve rational outcomes. A policy is a statement of intent, and is implemented as a procedure or protocol. A good policy focuses the efforts of the various sectors to attain a particular goal such that the overall outcome is much greater than if the various sectors were to operate in a random manner. Sad to note the Philippine environmental policy was promulgated back in 1977(PD1151) and that policy is so narrowly focused on the environmental impact system. In essence, the Philippines never have a good environmental management policy focusing on the complex and cross cutting nature of the environment. The interactions between law, economics and technology must be properly analyzed for a successful environmental policy. |
