Electrical and Electronics - Lingaya's University

B.Tech. Electrical & Electronics Engineering (Regular)course is to make everyone aware of environmentalissues like continuing problems of pollution, loss offorest, solid waste disposal, and degradation ofenvironment. Issues like economic productivity andnational security, global warming, the depletion ofozone layer and loss of biodiversity are other seriousconcerns before the mankind.1. THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY NATURE OFENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES: Basic definitionsrelated to environment; Scope, vis-à-visenvironmental science and environmentalengineering; Causes of environmental degradation,atmospheric composition and associated spheres,habitat and climate; objective, goals and principlesinvolved in environmental education, environmentalawareness, environmental ethics, environmentalorganization and their involvement.2. NATURAL RESOURCES: Renewable and nonrenewableresources; forest resources, overexploitation,and deforestation / afforestation;water resources, impact of over-utilization ofsurface and ground water, floods, drought,conflicts over water, dams; mineral resources:dereliction of mines, environmental effects ofextracting and using mineral resources; Foodresources, modern agriculture and its impact,problem associated with fertilizer and pesticide,water logging, salinity ; energy resources,renewable, non-renewable energy sources, solarenergy, wind energy, hydro energy, biomassenergy, geothermal energy, nuclear energy and itsassociated hazards; land as a resource, landdegradation, man induced landslides, soil erosionand desertification.3. ECOSYSTEMS: Concept of an ecosystem,structure and function of an ecosystem, producers,consumers and decomposers, energy flow in theecosystem, ecological succession, food chains,food webs and ecological pyramids; characteristicfeatures, structure and function of the followingecosystem -forest ecosystem, grasslandecosystem desert ecosystem and aquaticecosystems.4. BIODIVERSITY AND ITS CONSERVATION: Biogeographicalclassification of India; biodiversity atglobal, national and local levels, India as a megadiversitynation, hot-spots of biodiversity; value ofbiodiversity-consumptive use, productive use,social, ethical aesthetic and option values; threatsto biodiversity; conservation of biodiversity: in-situand ex-situ conservation of biodiversity.5. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION: Causes, effectsand control measures of air pollution, waterpollution, soil pollution, marine pollution, noisepollution, thermal pollution, solid wastemanagement, e-waste management; disastermanagement – floods, earthquake, cyclone andlandslides.6. SOCIAL ISSUES AND THE ENVIRONMENT:Water conservation, rain water harvesting,watershed management; climate change, globalwarming, acid rain, ozone layer depletion;Environmental Protection Act, Air (Prevention andControl of Pollution) Act, Water (Prevention andControl of Pollution) Act, Wildlife Protection Act,Forest Conservation Act.7. HUMAN POPULATION AND THEENVIRONMENT: Population growth, populationexplosion – family welfare programmes; role ofinformation technology in environment and humanhealth; case studies, Chipko movement, SaradarSarovar dam, mining and quarrying in Udaipur,salinity and water logging in Punjab, Haryana andRajasthan, Bhopal gas tragedy, Chernobyl nucleardisaster, arsenic pollution in ground water.TEXT BOOKKaushik, Anubha, and Kaushik, C.P., ―Perspectives inEnvironmental Studies‖, New Age InternationalPublishers, 2004.REFERENCE BOOKS1.
