    Synopsis :

    The course is designed to expose the students to various aspects in environmental pollution and concepts of environmental management. The course emphasizes on discussion in different aspects of environmental components including water, air, soil and waste. Various pollution control and prevention methods, environmental regulations as well as the implementation and concept in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) in achieving sustainable development will also be among the important aspect of this course. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate and apply the knowledge by the ability to identify specific pollution control technology and methods and the processes in preparing an environmental impact assessment (EIA) report. The students should be able to synthesize the knowledge in a group project and demonstrate a cooperative effort while working in a team as well as develop good relationship and interaction with colleagues and work effectively with other people to achieve mutual objective.
