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
