| Aim: The aim of the Biological Environmental Engineering course is firstly to provide students with a detailed understanding of effects, and impacts of different types of pollutants from modern industrial society. Secondly the course will provide an overview of methods available for monitoring, prevention and treatment of these environmental problems. The course will deal with both pollution prevention strategies and technical and biological methods for treatment, and will also examine in detail the methodology and application of Environmental Impact Assessment. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Past exams in courses comparable to 50 cedits (1.25 years) of basal biology at Linköping University, including courses similar to our course NBIB06 (Environmental Management, 5 credits). Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: The course includes lectures, seminars, field- and laboratory studies, excursions and educational visits. Students will partly work with projects in groups of three - four persons, producing written reports that are also presented orally. Further, each students writes an individual paper. |
|||
| Course contents: (1) Deeper knowledge about issues important from a natural resource and environmental perspective, e.g. energy supply, waste management, the use of potentially toxic compunds.(2) Methods to detect and monitor ecological and toxicological effects will be studied, discussed and and to some extent tested practically. (3) A critical examination of Environmental Impact Assessments, and discussions about the content and use of such documents. (4) Knowledge about common methods for solid waste and wastewater treatment as well as treatment of gas emissions and hazardous waste. Also, recent biological methods to deal with the same issues will be studied as well as pollution prevention strategies such as clean production, the use of Life Cycle Analysis and Environmental Auditing. |
