Class Introduction to Environmental Engineering

The Curricular Unit of Introduction to Environmental Problems has as main objective to establish the first contact of students with environmental engineering subjects on a prospective basis for development of subsequent courses of degree in Environmental Engineering.

- Framework and specificity of the UC in the context of the Degree in 
- Engineering of theEnvironment;
- Degradation Factors of the State of the Environment, Natural and Environmental Risks;
- Environmental Technologies;
- Areas of expertise of an environmental engineer;
- Environmental Degradation (soil, waste, water, air)

Presentation of the topics defined in the UC program will be carried out using expository and interactive methods, always encouraging discussion of the subjects presented. Whenever necessary/possible/appropriate, real cases/case studies will be presented with the aim of increasing knowledge and awareness of environmental issues.
