Environmental technologies and sciences [EINGB221]

Learning outcomes

Elements of physics and chemistry necessary for the understanding of the major current environmental issues related to the energy and chemical industry

Objectives

The objective of the course is to give the student a sufficient mastery of the notions of physics and chemistry necessary for the understanding of the great current environmental problems (waste, pollution, global warming, ...) related to the field of energy (production, storage and economy) and the chemical industry. The aim is also to awaken the student's critical and scientific mind in order to bring them to the knowledge of complex industrial and technological processes. The course will be illustrated by typical examples, in relation to current events and the industrial world.
