Course abstract
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.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
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.
