Core Concepts in Environmental Engineering

This module is designed to provide scientific skills and understanding of the key chemical, physical and biological processes appropriate for a practising environmental engineer.

Students will also gain hands-on experience in analytical methods for assessing pollution of the natural environment and engineered treatment systems, data evaluation, and reporting methods.

Please register your interest with us and we will confirm any capacity restrictions associated with the course.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, you will have:

Awareness of global, regional, and local environmental issues, and the principles of sustainability.
An understanding of the key components of aqueous, terrestrial and gaseous environments and their interaction with pollutants.
A practical knowledge of important analytical tools for monitoring and assessing environmental pollution and protecting public health.
Knowledge of the historic evolution of public health engineering principles and environmental Regulations Proficiency in laboratory analytical techniques for standard analysis of water and wastewater samples.
Ability to calculate and express experimental data in standard units, assess experimental uncertainty and test the statistical significance of treatment effects.
Ability to source relevant reference data and water quality standards, make comparisons with analytical data, draw relevant conclusions, and prepare technical laboratory reports.
Ability to work individually and in teams, plan work and produce deliverable outputs on time.
