Description

Climate Change is a collection of a number of papers as well as chapters about the science of the subject. This collection is meant to inflame and excite conversation among engineers and scientists with society at large. It would serve as a catalyst for a three-credit course as a relatively new engineering subject to both engineering and non-engineering university students. As university education develops to better prepare future leaders to appreciate science, technology, engineering and mathematics, engineering courses for a mix of engineering and non-engineering majors, are essential and so is the requirement of worthy textbooks. This monograph intends to be one of the useful tools available for this timely topic. The wide range of topics includes climate change and theories, the second law of thermodynamics, the global greenhouse effect, anthropogenic heat release, evidence around us owing to environmental change, sea level rise, jungles and forests, heat islands, atmospheric carbon dioxide removal via technology, nanotechnology and other innovations in response to climate change, the energy–water–food nexus.

Author Biography:

Kaufui Vincent Wong grew up in Malaysia and came to the United States in 1973. As a young man, he had four parts of a wish. He accomplished the third part of his wish when he started as a professor at the University of Miami, Florida, in 1979, and that was to teach young men and women from all over the world to become engineers. He started having the fourth part of his wish come true when in the year 2000 he published his book for students studying to be engineers. By 2012, he had published four textbooks. His 2015 book projects with Momentum Press represent his fifth and sixth books and he is working on his seventh.
