Overview
This unit aims to develop an understanding of the role and basis for environmental impact assessment (EIA) and environmental management systems (EMS). The unit focuses on the processes involved in producing an EIA or EMS, with a particular emphasis on synthesising technical, regulatory and community issues. The unit aims to encourage you to integrate your existing knowledge in environmental engineering, applying it to real projects. Through lectures, practice classes, individual assignments and group project work, you should develop skills and knowledge in preparing major EIA and EMS reports, their presentation and communication as well as their engineering context.
