The case example with a designated topic should be conducted in a group as listed in
Table 1. Students are compulsory to present the case example with a report
submission.
List of Topics:
D. Overpopulation (Group 4)
Your case study question: Choose one city that having a dense population and point out
issues related to the environment (eg; municipal solid waste, sewage system and etc)
Propose solution in combating those issues.
E. Transportation (Group 5)
Your case study question: Transportation is one of the main key infrastructure to the city
development. However, the transportation leads to environmental problems. Identify those
problems. As an environmental engineer, propose new solutions to combat the problem
and how can you implement in our society.
H. Deforestation (Group 8)
Your case study question: Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order
to make the land available for other uses. However, this activity leads to environmental
problems. Identify those problems. As an environmental engineer, propose possible
solution to eliminate/reduce the problems.
I. Mining (Group 9)
Your case study question: Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological
materials from the earth from an orebody, lode, vein, seam, reef or placer deposits which
forms the mineralized package of economic interest to the miner. However, mining
operations usually create a negative environmental impact, both during the mining activity
and after the mine has closed. Identify those problems. As an environmental engineer,
propose possible solution to eliminate/reduce the problems.
