Pollution Prevention
Industrial Ecology is the study of how to manage human
activity on a sustainable basis. It is an interdisciplinary
field involving technology (sciences and engineering), public
policy and regulatory issues, and business administration.
The overall goal of this course is to promote creative and
comprehensive problem solving through the application of
Industrial Ecology tools such as Industrial Metabolism,
Input-Output Analysis, Life Cycle Assessment, Accounting,
and Design for the Environment. Same as EM 507.
