University of Zagreb

Faculty of Geotechnical Engineering

Upon the completion of the undergraduate study programme in Environmental Engineering students will be
able to:
- apply knowledge of mathematics, natural sciences and basic engineering disciplines in completing feasibility studies and projects related to environmental engineering,
- identify, analyse and solve less demanding tasks related to environmental engineering,
- use techniques, skills and modern engineering tools which are important in the environmental engineering practice,
- prepare and develop technical parts of tender offers,
- make technical drawings, sketches and diagrams, solve less demanding numerical tasks and develop a basis for project documentation,
- plan and participate in contaminated soil and water remediation programmes as well as plan field research related to geotechnical and hydrotechnical engineering,
- acquire technical data and take part in choosing the most favourable equipment for undertaking field research during contaminated soil and water remediation programmes
- recommend mechanical equipment, technological processes and treatment techniques for the remediation of contaminated soil and water as well as for the treatment of municipal solid waste (MSW) and hazardous waste
- acquire and store data for the Geographic Information System ( GIS ), which is used for the registry of waste disposal sites and for the preparation of databases of soil and water quality,
- organize networks for monitoring water supplies and for the protection of water resources,
- take hazardous or non-hazardous soil and water samples (surface and groundwater),
- trace underground water flows,
- carry out standard hydrologic measurements and control measurements on hydraulic structures,
- assess risks and participate in the preparation of feasibility studies concerning medium complex problems in environmental engineering,
- participate in the preparation of impact assessment studies concerning an ecological network and the environment,
- collaborate in the design, exploitation and processing of mineral resources.
