Objectives:
To examine the main environmental problems associated with plans, programs and engineering works projects and analyze measures for managing the resulting environmental impacts. Analyze the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) processes and the relevance they may have as decision-making tools, as well as the main guidelines for preparing the Scope Definition Proposal, Environmental Impact Studies and Environmental Monitoring Plan.
Skills:
a) Recognition of the environmental consequences and environmental sustainability arising from the construction, exploitation and decommissioning of engineering works;
b) Understanding the different phases of the EIA and SEA process;
c) Understanding the meaning of the different EIA components and their framing in the EIA process;
d) Mastery of analysis and design of mitigating measures in the areas of water quality and noise.
