1. Green Engineering Careers Tom Rebold Chair, Engineering Department

2. The Coming Green Revolution  Alternative Energy  Resource conservation  Transportation  Green Chemical Manufacturing  Building efficiency  Remediation

3. Engineers will save the world Only engineers can create the new technologies that will power the world’s economy in the absence of oil and coal We’ll take a look at which branches of engineering will be involved in the solutions…

4. Alternative Energy  Solar: Materials and Electrical Engineering  Wind: Mechanical and Electrical  Nuclear: Nuclear Engineering  Biofuels: Agricultural, Chemical, Genetic

5. Resource Conservation  Efficient Lighting – EE  Factory Efficiency – Industrial, Manufacturing  Water Recycling – Civil, Environmental  Design for Recycling – Mechanical

6. Transportation  Electric Vehicles Reva (India) 2 seats. 200 Km range top speed of 120 Km/h! 6 hours to charge (Mechanical, Electrical) top speed of 120 Km/h! 6 hours to charge (Mechanical, Electrical)  Mass Transit –  Transportation Engineering, EE, ME, Civil

7. Green Chemical Manufacturing  Air pollution, water quality, Green Chemistry methodologies

8. Green Building Practices for Sustainability  A new building project in Mumbai is being billed as one of the greenest buildings in the world. The 27 story Antilla building is being built for Reliance Industries Ltd, India’s largest private sector company. The building will be covered in foliage, with living walls enclosing all four sides, hanging gardens and a green rooftop.  A new building project in Mumbai is being billed as one of the greenest buildings in the world.

9. Environmental Engineering Environmental engineers translate physical, chemical, and biological processes into systems to destroy toxic substances, remove pollutants from water, reduce non- hazardous solid waste volumes, eliminate contaminants from the air, and develop groundwater supplies. In this field, you might be called upon to resolve problems of providing safe drinking water, cleaning up sites contaminated with hazardous materials, cleaning up and preventing air pollution, treating wastewater, and managing solid wastes.

10. In Conclusion…  All branches of engineering will be involved in the coming transformation  Which branch are you most interested in?
