Course Planning and Timetable
This training program, funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), Taiwan, will mainly address the impact of industrialization and utilization of fossil fuels on the environmental pollution and global climate change as well as the development and application of low carbon green energy to environmental sustainability. The main concept for curriculum design is mainly based on the life cycle of pollutants and their impacts on environmental sustainability. As shown in Figure 1, the use of fossil fuel will produce large amounts of CO2 and pollutants to deteriorate the environmental quality as well as to cause the global warning. The introduction of energy-saving and low carbon technology to develop environmentally green technology and low carbon technology are thus needed and urgent to achieve the environmental sustainability.
Figure 1. The main concept for designed training curriculum.
Through the designed course, the trainees will first learn the comprehensive knowledge in world energy sources and distribution and current status of energy usage in the world, especially the ASEAN, India and Middle East. The release of toxic chemicals and CO2 from the combustion of fossil fuels and the impact of these toxic chemicals on global warming as well as human health will be addressed and discussed in the curriculum. In addition, the concept and application of low carbon and renewable energies including solar energy, hydrogen energy, and energy storage will also be introduced. After 45 hours of lecture courses, 4 field trips including laboratory tours, green building of Delta Co, and Center for Space and Remote Sensing Technology at National Central University will be arranged to link and reinforce the lecture courses.
