The aim of the course is to teach students methodologies for designing environmental facilities (eg municipal waste water treatment plants) and environmental impact assessment.
Students work in teams to design an environmental installation based on raw data. Work includes the search / calculation of design parameters, the design of the installation, and the preparation of the relevant Environmental Impact Study. At the end of the semester, the students present orally the preliminary results of their work. The work is completed in the MP555 course.

Upon successful completion of this course the students will be able to:

• Establish the basis for designing environmental processes.
• Selects the appropriate sequence of processes and designs flow charts
• Calculate Process Design Parameters
• Assess the environmental impact of projects

• Work autonomously
• Work in teams
• Decision making
• Project design and management

1. Basic Concepts on Environmental Licensing.
2. Content of Environmental Impact Assessment Studies.
3. Methodology for Writing Environmental Impact Assessment Studies.
