| Programme learning outcomes |
- Student knows and understands deeply selected processes and key phenomena in environmental and civil engineering. He/she knows the main development trends in environmental engineering.
- Student has the knowledge necessary to understand social, environmental, economic, legal and other non-technical conditions of civil engineering activities, including the basic concepts and principles of creation and development of various forms of entrepreneurship, protection of industrial property and copyright law, construction and environmental protection law.
- Student is aware of the professional responsibility resulting from performing the function of an engineer and the need to maintain the ethos of the profession. He/she respects and takes into account the interests of the investment project participants in its activities, recognizes the importance of knowledge and expert opinions in a given field. He/she is ready to initiate activities for the social environment. He/she can think and act in an entrepreneurial way.

| Programme content |
Students should be acquainted with the fundamentals of biotechnology and the selected ap-plications of biotechnologies in environmental protection, particularly in water and soil protec-tion. Also students should be acquainted with the issues concerning migration and transfor-mation of pollutants in the environment. |
| Assessment methods |
Learning outcomes 1-4: written test; Learning outcome 4: oral presentation and written report
|
| Grading policies |
The final grade will be the weight mean of the written test (65%) and the seminar (35%). |
| Course content |
LECTURE:
1. Role of biotechnology in the protection of environment. The basic terms. Mechanisms of biological removal of the pollutants.
2. Methods of detemination of the concentration and activity of biomass. Kinetics of the growth of microorganisms.
3. The construction of bioreactors. The general balance of bioreactor. Formulation of balances for batch bioreactor and chemostat.
4. Biological methods applied in the protection of water and soil.
5. Basic terms of environmental chemistry.
6. Migration and transformations of the selected pollutants in the environment.
SEMINAR:
In the seminar one selected issues concerning environmental chemistry will be described. The results of the elaboration will be presented in the oral and written forms. |
