Summary of the Profile
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To provide students with the knowledge and competencies to solving complex environmental issues by the principles of sustainable development, to develop sound environmental engineering solutions, at the same time taking into account legal, societal, and economic aspects.
Description of the study programme: https://admissions.ktu.edu/programme/m-environmental-engineering/
Learning outcomes:
Knowledge and its Application:
Is able to acquire in-depth understanding and solve environmental engineering tasks by uniting principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and general (with the emphasis on process) engineering.
Is able to acquire critical awareness of the traditional and innovative technologies for pollution prevention and abatement.
Having critical awareness of the wider multidisciplinary context of engineering is able to apply principles of business, law, and management to environmental engineering.
Special (engineering analysis and design) Skills:
Is able to apply knowledge for solving complex engineering tasks applying the most appropriate theoretical, analytical, experimental, and computational methods, including life cycle assessment.
Is able to apply competences of fluid dynamics, pollution transfer modelling/computational competences; to design various pollution abatement technologies integrating sustainable development, health, safety and commercial aspects.
Is able to describe the importance of social, economic, health, safety, and environmental constraints when solving complex environmental issues.
Is able to develop new and innovative environmental technologies and systems supporting circular economy, eco-entrepreneurial business ideas.
Is able to identify, formulate and solve unfamiliar and vaguely defined environmental problems and apply traditional and innovative technologies in problem solving.
Research Skills and Practical Activities:
Is able to identify, locate and obtain required data, to conduct searches of literature, to consult and critically use databases and other sources of information.
Is able to integrate knowledge and practical competences from various disciplines for solving emerging environmental issues.
Is able to design and conduct experimental, simulation, and technological investigations, as well as critically evaluate data and draw conclusions.
Is able to describe pollution reduction and resource recovery methods together with their limitations, to apply engineering analysis, modelling tools for designing of engineering systems.
Is able to investigate the applicability of new and emerging technologies for reduction of environmental impact.
Is able to apply principles of sustainable development, circular economy in the professional field, integrate entrepreneurship and organisational business aspects; is able to describe the economic implications of engineering practice.
Personal (decision-making, lifelong learning, cooperation and teamwork) Skills:
Is able to function effectively as an individual as well as in national and international interdisciplinary contexts, as a member or a leader of a team.
Is able to communicate clearly their conclusions to specialist and non-specialist audiences in national and international contexts.
Is able to think critically, handle complexity, formulate judgements that include holistic approach to engineering solutions and their environmental and societal impact.
Is able to engage in independent life-long learning.
Activities of teaching and learning:
The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components).
Study subjects (modules):
Air Quality Engineering, Chemicals in Environment, Environmental Biotechnology, Methods of Environmental Analysis, Sustainability Management and Law, Climate Change Mitigation Technologies, Experimental Design and Data Analysis in Environmental Engineering, Research Project 1, Technologies for Waste Management and Resources Recovering, Water Resources Engineering, Eco-Entrepreneurship Project, Environmental Nanotechnology, Modelling of Environmental Processes and Technologies, Research Project 2, Master’s Degree Final Project.
Study programme abstract:
A graduate has fundamental and applied knowledge in environmental processes and engineering and is able to introduce, supervise and maintain environmental protection technologies, analyse and assess the efficiency of these technological systems as well as employ methods of environmental quality assessment and measures of pollution prevention. The graduate has the skills to carry out complex laboratory research works by applying modern methods of instrumental analysis, process scientific, technical and legislative information as well as employ information technologies for the control of environmental systems.
Access to professional activity:
The graduate can carry out research, technological, expert, and consulting work in industrial enterprises in the areas of water treatment, decontamination of gaseous effluents and solid waste treatment or implement and maintain environment-friendly technologies, provide environmental services, assess and forecast the status of environment in various industries.
Access to further study:
S/he has access to the third cycle studies.
