Brief

Green technology is a novel multidisciplinary science, including chemistry, physics, biology as well as material sciences, to not only monitor, model and conserve the natural environment and resources, but also curb the negative impacts of human activities. In this course, basic concepts and applications of green technology are discussed; furthermore, circular economy for sustainable environment is also introduced to provide students a picture that how green technology utilize to our daily life in the future.
