2. LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes

The aim of the course is to teach students methodologies for designing environmental facilities (eg. municipal waste water treatment plants) and for composing environmental impact assessment studies.

Students work in teams to design an environmental facility based on raw data. Work includes the estimation / calculation of design parameters, planning and costing of the installation, as well as the preparation of the relevant Environmental Impact Study. At the end of the semester, the students present orally the results of their work. The work is a continuation of the MΠ554 course.

Upon successful completion of this course the students will be able to:

  • Design integrated environmental processes
  • Compile flow charts, top view graphs, P & I diagrams, hydraulic sections
  • Estimate the cost of environmental projects
  • To prepare technical studies on environmental processes.
  • To compose environmental impact assessment studies
  • To work in teams
 
General Competencies/Skills
 
  • Work autonomously
  • Work in teams
  • Decision making
  • Project design and management
