Abstract:

The world is witness pollution of environment and depletion of resources with fast development of economy and growth of population. Mankind are facing the problems that the earth is revenging mankind for destroying the nature balance, which requires proper environmental management to maintain balance between economic development and environment. To cultivate graduates with knowledge on maintenance of balance between economy and environment, Environmental Economics and Management is offered to undergraduates whose major is Environmental Engineering. Due to development of environmental management, this course requires construction to keep class teaching up-to-date with current environmental economics and management. This paper firstly analyzes conditions of this course prior to construction, and then provides a construction plan in terms of revision of teaching content, improvement of teaching methods and class modes, compiling of exercise database and test paper database.
