2000. Based on this criteria chemical engineering departments mustincorporate “ethics, safety and the environment” into the curricula. An additional criterion thatmust be satisfied is to prepare students with a broad education to understand the impact ofengineering solutions in a global context. The most common method to introduce greenengineering has been through a senior/graduate level elective course on environmentalengineering, with emphasis on end of the process treatment. Recently, courses have beendeveloped that focus on methods to minimize or prevent waste streams from exiting chemicalplants.
