Study Guide

Objectives (course unit)

After completing this course student knows the characteristics of different natural and industrial emissions to air, water and soil. Student knows the dispersion and deposition processes of emissions and knows the modelling systems of environmental pollution.

Content (course unit)

Air, water and soil, noise and radiation pollution, practical exercises in measuring and monitoring emissions.

Prerequisites (course unit)

Before taking this course, student has to have completed all physics courses, Basics for Environmental Technology and Management and Sustainable Industrial Production courses.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

Student is able to analyse simple noise and particle modelling cases both qualitatively and quantitatively. Student needs extra support to be able to complete given tasks. Exercises have been done, but results might be slightly erroneous.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)

Student is able to use correct terminology and presents justified qualitative and quantitative analysis. Exercises are done completely, and results and analysis are correct. Results are at least briefly commented.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)

Student shows the ability to do versatile qualitative and quantitative analysis. Student has a realistic knowledge of the limitations of the theoretical framework. Reports are comprehensive and well-structured. Student is able to show his or her own conclusions clearly.

Assessment methods and criteria

Evaluation is based on measurement and modelling exercises, group assignments and final exam.
