Lectures

Goal

The main course objectives are related to introduce students to environmental problems, natural hazards and human impact on the environment. In order to solve problems, students will be acquainted with the physics and chemistry of the environment, atmospheric phenomena, the basics of microbiology and ecology.

Outcome

Based on lessons envisaged to overcome the students will be able to make independent decisions related to environmental management, sustainable development, impact assessment of projects and facilities on the environment. Especially important is the knowledge that students acquire in terms of life cycle analysis of products and processes.
