Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to recognise the basic principles and methodologies for assessing the environmental impacts of engineering projects.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

1. Recognise the environmental impacts of engineering projects and evaluates their intensity.
2. Present the relevant national and European legislation on environmental licensing.
3. Apply methodologies for forecasting and assessing environmental risks.
4. Formulate alternative solutions and measure for restoration or mitigation of impacts.
5. Systematically compose Environmental Impact Studies (EIS).
