The protection of natural resources, CO2 emissions, climate change and its effects, and demographic changes, are increasingly important topics in the local and international context. The programme merges classical engineering with natural sciences. Environmental Engineering Sciences and Sustainable Technologies deal with engineering solutions for environmentally relevant challenges of our future. This course provides learners with the ability to use problem-solving approaches for dealing with ecological and technical challenges, in order to creatively arrive at a situation of resource sustainability. The course is a challenging, technically-oriented programme that offers learners a broad range of fields of application. Graduates can be active in the planning, construction and operation of environmental technological facilities, in research and teaching, environmental organisations, administration, and consultancy businesses of their own.
At the end of the programme the learner will be able to:
1. Understand the basics of environmental engineering within a wide range of
industries
2. Carry out water, energy and environmental audits and basic environmental
impact assessments
3. Comprehend environmental legislation and regulations required to devise
environmental policies
4. Implement monitoring, logging, data management and interpretation of various
environmental parameters with an aim of arriving at scientific conclusions to a
specific problem.
