| Summary, etc. |
As with the first edition, this book is written for the engineering student who wants to learn about solid waste engineering, a subset of environmental engineering. Environmental engineering developed during the last 60 years as a major engineering discipline and is now established as an equal alongside such major engineering fields as civil, chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering. The emergence of environmental engineering is driven in great part by societal need to control the pollution of our environment. Jobs for environmental engineers continue to increase, and there is no sign that this will slow down. Using this book as part of a graduate or advanced undergraduate course in solid waste engineering will help to prepare the student to enter the field as an engineer-in-training. Much of the knowledge in solid waste engineering is gained by actual experience while working with experienced engineers in the field, and it is impossible to include all of this experience in this book. What we hope is that the student, at the conclusion of this course, will be able to enter into meaningful conversations with experienced engineers and eventually put the basic principles learned in this course to beneficial use. |
