The Purdue University, USA, which boasts the 2nd highest number of their international students being of Indian origin, has announced new master's and doctoral degree programmes in Environmental and Ecological Engineering (EEE) for higher education. The programme is designed to educate engineers to apply their technical understanding of systems engineering, biology and chemistry to develop strategies to protect human and environmental health.
A distinctive feature of EEE learning and discovery relative to other universities is the focus on reducing the energy, water, carbon and material footprints of industrial operations. The programme imparts an approach of managing complex problems with an integrated perspective that considers both environmental issues and ecological interaction.
