Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
The course enables to acquire knowledge about current practices and state-of-the-art developments as well as the organizational and legislative framework to prevent and handle urban and hazardous waste. Particularly, knowledge on the quantity and quality of the waste, the regional per capita production and collection, agricultural and small and medium scale industry wastes will be considered. By-products, reuse, recovery and disposal according to sanitary landfill, mechanical-biological treatment, gasification, incineration and composting plants will provide insights that will enrich the knowledge of the solid waste sector. At the end of the course, the student will acquire a clear awareness of the wider multidisciplinary context of environmental engineering, with a clear reference to the strictly connections between management technologies of solid waste and other potentially hazardous materials with the risk assessment for the protection of the environment and human health.
CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
In order to address the environmental issues related to the multi-sector waste management and polluted sites, upon completion the student should be able to correctly interpret the concepts, and the principles for the acquired knowledge, or those commonly addressed in the actual engineering practice. This ability will be expressed through a number of vocational skills, such as: 1. Regulatory requirements and the attribution of CER code for the correct classification of the waste; 2. the ability to identify the appropriate technologies for the disposal of waste into an environmentally safe conditions; 3. the ability to properly interpret the results of the of environmental monitoring, working in a team with other elements involved in the study of the evaluation.
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
The execution of problem solving done within a joined panel will lead to a reports and will help to improve either the degree of judgment independence in general and the ability to communicate deriving from the teamwork aptitude or the ability to learn independently and to draw conclusions, by the student.
