EV 756 - Environmental Project Program Management and Life Cycle Cost Analysis

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Today’s environmental manager is faced with numerous environmental issues, all of which must be managed simultaneously. For any one environmental problem within a business or manufacturing setting, there are a number of possible technical approaches to controlling or eliminating that problem. The environmental manager for that business must select the best technical option from among many. This course presents techniques for evaluating, on a life cycle cost basis, the merit of the various technical options. Included in any life cycle costing is discussion on estimating long-and short-term liability costs. These potential liability costs represent a large proportion of the overall exposure a company faces when implementing a program to manage environmental wastes. Since many companies rely on the advice of consultants to make environmental decisions, this course also presents techniques for evaluating the competency of various consultants and presents strategies for working with consultants. (prereq: graduate standing in MSEV program or department consent) Offered Spring term.
