Environmental Technology (30 ECTS)
Leipzig University / Germany
The track aims to develop a fundamental understanding of the end-
of-pipe and cleaner production technologies for pollution
prevention and reduction and of the municipal environmental
infrastructure. First, primary environmental pollutants, their
dispersion and effect mechanisms in the environment as well as the
basics in sampling and analyses will be outlined. Second, the
technologies for air pollution abatement and safety engineering are
presented. Subsequently, attention is given to industrial applications
for water and wastewater treatment as well as waste recycling and
treatment. The last part of the track concentrates on the provision
and operation of municipal environmental infrastructures including
water networks, sewage systems and energy production and supply
networks. Besides the technical aspects legal requirements applying
to these supply and treatment technologies are presented. The
theoretical knowledge provided in the lectures will be deepened by
means of application oriented seminars and excursions.
After the completion of this track the students will possess
competences and skills to operate and evaluate technological and
infrastructural solutions for environmental protection at the firm
and municipal levels.
1. Air pollution technology and safety engineering (10 ECTS)
2. Water, wastewater and waste treatment (10 ECTS)
3. Municipal infrastructure: provision and operation (10 ECTS)
Methods used in each course comprise:
Lectures
Excursions
Seminar in the form of group or individual assignment
Self-study
In each course the performance of students will be assessed based
on:
A seminar paper (individually or in a team)
A presentation of the seminar results (individually or in a team)
An exam covering the whole content of each course (written or
oral)
Students that take this track should possess basic knowledge in and
understanding of technology and environmental sciences including
chemistry and physics as well as of the concept of sustainable
development.
