Environmental Engineering 3 (U00322)

? Credit Points : 10 ? SCQF Level : 9 ? Acronym : EEL-3-CVENV

This course covers various areas of Environmental Engineering. Environmental Issues is intended to give the student a thorough grounding in a range of issues, with particular emphasis on environmental impact assessment, solid waste management and hazard and risk assessment. Essential background material on environmental legislation is also covered. Urban Drainage provides a practical introduction to U.K. urban drainage design practice. The basic theory required to develop designs is addressed, and a design project is carried out using the Micro Drainage computer software. The module is self-taught with tutorial assistance.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

By the end of this module, the student should be able to:
- understand the basic principles of UK urban drainage design;
- select appropriate design criteria for an urban drainage system;
- understand the operation of drainage systems including on- and off-line storage;
- use the Micro Drainage computer software to design and analyse storm drainage systems;
- evaluate alternatives and design a solution to an urban drainage problem requiring storage;
- complete the design for adoption by a public authority;
- present the completed design in a suitable format;
- identify and understand the application of relevant legislation covering environmental issues;
- describe the principles of environmental impact assessment;
- prepare an environmental impact assessment for civil engineering works;
