Aim
The purpose is that the student shall acquire knowledge and experience in the field of ecological engineering.
The purpose is furthermore for students to gain insight into the scientific methodology within ecological engineering
Course objectives
After completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to:
- formulate fundamental definitions and principles of ecological engineering.
- formulate similarities and differences between ecological engineering and traditional environmental engineering.
- describe a representative selection of applications in ecological engineering.
- perform a practical experiment within the frame of ecological engineering.
Content
The course covers the field ecological engineering both theoretically and practically. Ecological engineering is the design of sustainable systems that integrate human society with its natural environment, the biosphere, for the benefit of both.
