UNIT 1
MODULE 2: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK OF GREEN ENGINEERING (cont’d)

Suggested Teaching and Learning Activities

To facilitate students’ attainment of the objectives in this Module, teachers are advised to engage
students in the following teaching and learning activities.

1. Conduct research on the principles of Green Engineering and Industrial Ecology.

2. Invite guest lecturers with knowledge of environmental management systems, technologies
and guidelines including ISO 14000 family of standards particularly 14040 and 14044, and
ASTM standards.

3. Use ICT to demonstrate simulations for the collaborative design and product lifecycle
management.

4. Organise field trip to an ISO accredited organisation or a LEED accredited infrastructure.

5. Organise field trip to an organisation that upholds the Principles of Green Engineering and/or
Industrial Ecology.

6. Assess the engineering infrastructure in their immediate environment for the Principles of
Green Engineering and Industrial Ecology.

7. Conduct lectures/discussions on theoretical aspects of Green Engineering and Industrial
Ecology.
