The course is intended to provide students the ability to recognize and understand a complex character of environmental engineering and distinguish the role of its disciplines in research and development. Students will learn about the possibilities to conduct research in a broad range of disciplines, including hydrology, water management, water and air protection, noise and radioactive pollution, and waste management.
Upon the completion of this course, students will have
• Knowledge and understanding in various disciplines of environmental engineering and main research problems;
• Skills to select relevant methods and technology to solve specific tasks in environmental engineering;
• Competence to apply methods and technology in professional work and specific study courses, as well as to conduct independent research in disciplines of environmental engineering.
