Course Aim: To enable students to: 1- know the climate studies, including the threat of global climate change. 2- detect the role of human beings towards the environment. 3- describe the changes that occur to the environment and their effects on the present & future lives of the society. Intended Learning outcomes:
Intended learning outcomes(ILO,S) A- Knowledge and understanding: • a9-i define air, water and soil environmental systems. • a9-ii list the components of air, water and soil environmental systems. • a9-iii explain the factors contributing to the green house effect. • a9-iv describe the role of uncontrolled energy consumption in disturbing the natural balance of ecosystems. • a9-v interpret the potential green house effect from a given air composition. • a9-vi describe the environmental events that results from the global climate change. • a9-viiidentify the common pollutants present in air and their sources. • a9-viii interpret the means which are used to minimize formation of air pollutants. • a9-ix list the pollutants found in municipal wastewater • a9-x define the methods used to treat the municipal wastewater. • a9-xi describe the municipal wastewater treating plant. • a9-xii describe the industrial wastewater treatment plant. • a9-xiii list the methods used for disposal of wastes from municipal/industrial wastewater treatment plants. • a9-xiv describe the method used for preparing solid wastes for disposal into Landfills.
b- Intellectual skills b3-i determine methods of sampling air and water for environmental studies. b3-ii examine the concentration of industrial pollutants in air and water samples. b3-iii adapt the air and water analyses relevant to compliance to environmental protection laws. b8-i calculate the efficiency of gravity separation of free oil in Oil Catchers. b8-ii classify the composition of coagulants to flocc formation in the DAF Process. b8-iii adapt the bacterial role in the biological treatment of wastewater. c1. c2. c3. .
