	Prel. scheduled hours: 45 Rec. self-study hours: 115
	Area of Education: Technology Main field of studies: Mechanical Engineering, Energy and Environmental Engineering
	Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G1
	Aim: This course aims to contribute to knowledge and awareness about emergence of environmental problems and possible solutions of these problems. Focus is on the role of the engineer in proactive work to decrease environmental impact in relation to societal flows of material and energy. After successful completion of the course the student shall: Be able to describe the, for Sweden and globally, important environmental problems that has been presented during the course, On an overall level, be able to describe the environmental and health effects these problems are causing, and significant effects that might occur in the future, On an overall level, be able to describe the development within the environmental field, historically and today, and clarify how probable future scenarios concerning population growth and other societal development might affect the situation Especially for important technical systems, be able to explain how they affect the environment and can be adapted to reduce the environmental impact. Examples are systems concerning energy, transportation, buildings, water, waste and industrial �?ocleaning technology�?�. Be able to describe central parts and characteristics of modern corporate environmental management. For example, that includes life cycle and systems perspectives, businesslikeness, proactivity, the precautionary principle, and management systems. Be able to apply the above mentioned knowledge by conducting an environmental analysis of a given technical or industrial system, on an overall level.
