Unit Code: DPL532

Unit Name: Environmental Engineering

Description: Plant Technicians are expected to have a broad knowledge of the relationships of a plant to the environment. In reality, this has been an issue all over the world as there is an increasing demand to reduce waste and save the environment for future generations. This course will teach you about pollution control, waste management, hazardous waste handling and environmental ethics.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, you should be able to: 1. Apply knowledge of engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization as specified in DK1 to DK4 respectively to wide practical procedures and practices. 2. Gathers engineering knowledge from sources such as standards and codes of practice and identifies the most relevant. 3. Demonstrates creativity to propose possible solutions. 4. Identifies operational hazards and sets out relevant steps to be taken to lower the risk to public health and safety (including as appropriate to the discipline, safety in construction/fabrication, operation, maintenance, deconstruction/disposal, failing-safe and occupational health and safety). 5. Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of engineering technician work in the solution of well-defined engineering problems in societal and environmental contexts. 6. Manages own activities with honesty and integrity and in an orderly manner to meet deadlines. 7. Contributes constructively to team decision making, earns the trust and confidence of other team members.
