2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcomes | |
| Environmental engineering is a core course that aims to introduce students to the management and treatment of environmental problems. It examines pollution of the natural and man-made environment and the main axes for dealing with it. Sustainable management of natural resources, the main technologies for waste management and treatment are analyzed and reference is made to environmental legislation. Essentially, the course is the basic background on which the future engineer will continue with specialisation courses such as wastewater and drinking water treatment, solid waste management and gas emission management and treatment where the design of the processes required for the protection and management of the environment is discussed in more detail. Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to: - Know the main environmental problems - Know the main parameters for the study of environmental pollution and how environmental quality is assessed - Know the main technologies for the management and treatment of waste (liquid, gaseous and solid) - Understands the concept of integrated waste management in the context of the circular economy - Understands the environmental problems on a planetary scale | |
| |
| The general competencies that the student should have acquired and that the course aims to develop are: - Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information. - Application of theoretical knowledge in practice. - Decision making on targeted and general problems. |
3. COURSE CONTENTS
| Introduction to Environmental Engineering. Pollution and quality of the natural and man-made environment. Basic principles of management and response to environmental problems.

4. TEACHING METHODS – ASSESSMENT
| MODE OF DELIVERY | Face-to-face and distance learning: face-to-face and remote presentations using computer and slide projection. Assisted use of a whiteboard for solving exercises and further explanation of the theory. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY | - Use of information technologies in face-to-face and distance learning: presentations, exercises and examples. - Use of information technologies in communication with students: promotion of teaching materials, announcements, assignments, etc., via eClass. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
TEACHING METHODS |

| ASSESSMENT METHODS | Evaluation language: Greek -Alternative examination and marking methods: -Final written examination in June or September: 100%. -Optional mid-term written examination and final written examination in June or September: 40% + 60% = 100%. The student receives the highest possible grade that can be obtained from the above cases. - Student evaluation method: Written examination with solution of planning and analysis problems (formative, deductive). The above grading algorithm is available to students through the course website |
