Environmental Engineering, GIS, Sustainable Energy Systems and Land Use, 30 Credits

Environmental Engineering 2, 7.5 credits:

The course focuses on renewable energy and current environmental problems such as air pollution and noise pollution, technique, its meteorological conditions, and health effects. The course also gives the student basic knowledge in material and energy balances.

Energy and Sustainable Land Use, 7.5 credits:

The course addresses energy, energy systems with emphasis on renewable energy, field industries, industry, and transport. The course also deals with sustainability conflicts linked to human needs.

Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS), 7.5 credits:

The course focuses on practical applications of GIS. Various problems that can be studied and analysed using spatial data will be the starting point for identifying and developing solutions. The geographical examples used in the course are mainly from environmental science. Using GIS, students will study how problems can be analysed, presented and what possible solutions may exist.

Applied Geographic Information Systems (GIS), 7.5 credits:

The course provides knowledge of GIS analyses and the collection and processing of data from, for example, authorities, satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and GPS. The examples and tasks given in the course are mainly based on environmental issues which the students will analyse and solve using GIS. Students will be trained in problem formulation relevant to the subject and spend a large part of the course carrying out an individual project. The aim is that the knowledge and ability to practically use GIS is trained in a realistic situation.
