Transdisciplinarity - A New Vision in Forming Specialists in the Field of Environmental Engineering - Case Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

The complexity of industrial activities, the requests regarding the integrated pollution prevention and control, the development of the eco-design, the growth of the environmental performance and of the energetic efficiency, all of these need specialists trained in Universities, in the field of environmental engineering. The field of study of Environmental Engineering is considered both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. In the paper it is shown the necessity of a new approach of this field through transdisciplinarity. The case study refers to the relation between transdisciplinarity and the systems of renewable energy.
