Contents
This course is offered as a free-standing, advanced course. The course is given in full in English.
The course contains insights into measurement technology for environmental analysis, especially on air quality. It learns students to recognize environmental problems, and find solutions to the problems at hand. Data analysis of environmental data in a project work is central to the course, as well as a lab prepared and invented by the students themselves, trying to solve their own preconceived environmental problem.
The course consists of four main parts:
- Lectures on environmental problems, their solutions, and measurement technology, with written exam at the end.
- Project work.
- Laboration.
- Visits to research facilities, a factory and a municipality to learn about their efforts in favour of the environment, and measurement technologies and modelling tools used.
