Climate change Engineering Syllabus for B.Tech 7th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
Climate change Engineering Laboratory B.Tech (R13) seventhsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To impart knowledge on the global warming, the impact of climate change on society and the adaptation and mitigation measures to the students
UNIT I : INTRODUCTION [9 hours]
Atmosphere – weather and Climate – climate parameters – Temperature, Rainfall, Humidity, Wind – Global ocean circulation – El Nino and its effect – Carbon cycle
UNIT II : ELEMENTS RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE [7 hours]
Green house gases – Total carbon dioxide emissions by energy sector – industrial, commercial, transportation, residential – Impacts – air quality, hydrology, green space – Causes of global and regional climate change – Changes in patterns of temperature, precipitation and sea level rise – Greenhouse effect
UNIT III : IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE [10 hours]
Effects of Climate Changes on living things – health effects, malnutrition, human migration, socioeconomic impacts- tourism, industry and business, vulnerability assessment- infrastructure, population and sector – Agriculture, forestry, human health, coastal areas
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES: The students completing the course will have
- an insight into carbon cycle, physical basis of the natural greenhouse effect, including the meaning of the term radiative forcing, climate change, global warming and measures to adapt and to mitigate the impacts of climate change
- understanding on the growing scientific consensus established through the IPCC as well as the complexities and uncertainties
- ability to plan climate change mitigation and adaptation projects including the use of alternate fuels and renewable energy
