Overviews of food systems beyond enumerating the problems with the current food system (including problems with “alternative” food strategies) and begins to build ideas of what a sustainable food system might include. The focus on particular strategies, policies, and business arrangements that could be part of a sustainable food system in discussed in developing a sustainable future. This subject encourages multidisciplinary approach in realizing sustainable food systems. 1. Compare food systems locally and globally in terms of i) the health of students, staff and families and ii) the impacts of food choices on our community and environment. 2. Communicate about the importance of healthy and sustainable food to a variety of audiences. 3. Audit a system related to health, nutrition and food.

This course aims to provide the students with an overview of the wastewater systems, treatment methods and processes. Students will be able to acquire knowledge on basic wastewater treatment and process design. Students should be skilled in the design of unit processes for conventional and advanced wastewater treatment systems such as coagulation, sedimentation, and chemical treatment. They would gain fundamental knowledge of wastewater treatment processes and operations. 1. Describe the terminology used commonly for key concepts and terms in the field of wastewater treatment system. 2. Calculate wastewater flow rates and constituent mass loadings. 3. Categorize the physical, chemical, biological and advanced unit processes in wastewater treatment. 4. Explain the degradation mechanisms of organic and inorganic constituents of chemical and biological treatment methods.5. Design a wastewater treatment plant in a group. 6. Make presentation of wastewater treatment plant design.

This course has two primary objectives. Firstly, it will present the theories and associated practices concerned with sustainable management, policy and governance. Concepts such as sustainable consumption and production, non-structural management, and sustainable policy making will be covered. Emphasis is placed on public and private sector governance and their different approaches to the integrated management of environmental, social and economic concerns. Secondly, current environmental policies – water, energy and waste – at both governmental and corporate levels will be analysed in relation to the theories covered in the first part of the course. Malaysian and global perspectives on these environmental policies are analysed. Furthermore, the key policy developments in the latest international sustainability reporting procedures, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) will be covered. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to i) evaluate the effectiveness of corporate or public sustainability strategies and ii) integrate different sustainable approaches into corporate and public sector settings. Case studies will be drawn from local and international scenarios. Particular emphasis will be placed on team-work and effective communication skills so that course participants can contribute to behaviour change approaches and corporate sustainability strategies. 1. Analyze the different theories and concepts related to sustainable management, policy and governance 2. Evaluate different policy options for a specific sector or industry and give reasons for identifying the most sustainable solution 3. Clearly communicate a corporate sustainable strategy and demonstrate the environmental & economic trade-offs, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology UTMKL Lecture and Discussion, Team Assessment, Presentation, Case Study, Final Examination week 1, week 2 – 3, etc. Prof Dr Zuriati Zakaria conditional MMJS 1133 1.

[For the complete info, please refer to http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~josephw/principles_micro_15F.htm ] This is the introductory class for the principles of microeconomics. It serves as an introduction of economics to an audience that are not familiar with Calculus. (Those who have took Calculus should consider taking microeconomics instead.) One interesting feature of this class is there will be various classroom experiments throughout the semester, and students are expected to participate actively in them. This is a course taught in English, and all assignments are in English. If you feel that you would be in a disadvantaged position, please take other principles classes instead. The Goal of this class is to introduce how economists think (without the math required for microeconomics), and, help you think like an economist! Specifically, we will see how economists observe real world phenomenon, build simplified models of reality, derive theories to provide policy advice, and test implications with empirical or experimental data. College of Management There are no prerequisites for this course. JOSEPH TAO-YI WANG Monday 5 Wednesday 5 Friday 234 ECON1004 4 The upper limit of the number of non-majors: 150.

The focus of this English Composition course is to reinforce and enhance the English proficiency of first-year students in the writing skill area. Students will be writing a lot under guidance throughout the course to develop good writing habits and learn how bad writing habits could interfere with their thought process and therefore their writing process. In the first semester, students will first be learning how to write grammatically correct and meaningful sentences for different readers. Different sentence structures will be introduced allowing students to write with variety. Rules of punctuation will be emphasized for students to realize that punctuation marks are not merely meaningless symbols but actually carry meanings. When students feel comfortable writing sentences at the college level, they will then be guided to composing well-structured paragraphs. Students will be exploring the different parts of a paragraph and finding out the role each part plays in a paragraph. Once they have identified the relationship among the parts, then they are ready to put these parts together to form a coherent and cohesive paragraph. Besides sentences and paragraphs, other modes of writing, such as email communication and business letter, will be introduced based on students’ wants/needs. Students are encouraged to read in English as much as they can outside of class time as reading is one of the most effective ways to improving writing skills. Registering correct sentence structures and building vocabulary useful for writing can be achieved through reading. For this reason, throughout the course, students will have chances to read their classmates’ work and provide feedback as each other’s mentors. A variety of activities such as group interactions, pair work, and class discussions are used to introduce new material and reinforce material taught. Students will be learning how to write in English under a fun and interactive atmosphere. By the end of the first semester, students will/should have already developed good writing habits and can write following the “preferable writing approach.” College of Liberal Arts Students are required to keep a writing journal. They will be writing in their journal everyday starting the first day of class. Students will mostly be writing on something that interests them or occasionally on an assigned topic outside of class. In-class writing can be free-writing, timed writing, writing with a brainstorming session, etc. This course is conducted entirely in English. Students should attend all classes and come to class on time and prepared. Attendance is taken seriously. Students who “need” to be late or absent should notify the instructor at least 2 days in advance. No make-up quizzes or exams are allowed. Late homework will NOT be accepted. Students missing 4 or more classes automatically fail the course. Students who do not complete either Proverb Sharing or Book Review or both are not allowed to pass the course. Cell phones and other electronic devices are not allowed to be used in class unless given permission by the instructor to do so. JUDY WAI-KEI KWONG Tuesday 89X FL1019 2
