| COURSE OBJECTIVES: LEARNING GOALS AND SKILLS ACHIEVED THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO THE FIELD OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING AND ITS FUNDAMENTALS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND REAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS, ABILITY TO "THINK THROUGH" ON THE CONCEPTS OF ENVIRONMENT, POLLUTION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, BASED ON THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ECOLOGY AIMED AT UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACTS GENERATED BY HUMAN ACTIVITIES ON NATURAL SYSTEMS, KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN ASPECTS OF EACH ENVIRONMENTAL SECTOR. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ABILITY TO SET UP A MASS BALANCE FOR NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL SYSTEMS, ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND AND USE MODELS FOR POLLUTION IN THE WATER AND THE ATMOSPHERIC SECTORS, KNOWLEDGE OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. MAKING JUDGEMENTS KNOWING HOW TO IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE MODELS TO DESCRIBE AND UNDERSTAND THE BEHAVIOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AFFECTING DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL SECTORS AND BEING ABLE TO MAKE AN ASSESSMENT OF THE QUALITY LEVEL OF A SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL SECTOR. COMMUNICATION SKILLS LEARNING TO WORK IN SMALL GROUPS OF PEERS AND TO ORALLY PRESENT A TOPIC RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AND/OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ASSESSMENT. LEARNING SKILLS KNOWING HOW TO APPLY GENERAL CONCEPTS TO PROBLEMS THAT DIFFER FROM THOSE DISCUSSED IN THE CLASSROOM, AND HOW TO DEEPEN KNOWLEDGE USING TEXTBOOKS AND RESOURCES BEYOND THE RECOMMENDED ONES. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE ABOVE-MENTIONED GOALS, STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE PASSED THEIR FUNDAMENTAL MATHEMATICS, CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS CLASSES. |
| Contents | |
|---|---|

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE INCLUDES LECTURES, CLASSROOM-BASED TESTS AND LABORATORY SESSIONS. STUDENTS ARE INVOLVED IN THE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE AIM OF STIMULATING THEIR PROACTIVE PARTICIPATION. DURING CLASSROOM-BASED TESTS A PROBLEM TO SOLVE IS GIVEN, AND THE INSTRUCTOR/TA MAKES A CASE OF HOW TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM; THE MAIN GOAL IS TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFICULTIES STUDENTS MIGHT FACE DUE TO LACKING KNOWLEDGE OF CONCEPTS OR TO A POOR PROBLEM-SOLVING APPROACH, IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE STUDENTS TO TEST THEIR LEARNING LEVEL. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| STUDENTS ARE GRADED THROUGH A TWO-STEP PROCEDURE THAT CONSISTS IN A FINAL TEST AND A SUBSEQUENT ORAL EXAMINATION. |
