Course Goals
The aim of this course is to expand the
knowledge of the civil engineer student about
the impact of development on environment
and its relationship with the sustainable
development. As an introductory course, it
aims to give definitions and basics of different
environmental pollutions such as: Liquid
wastes, Solid wastes, Air pollution, Noise
pollution.
This will be achieved through understanding:
sources, effect and control of each type of these
pollutants.
