•Environmental impact assessment
•Pedological construction supervision
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
1. Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of soil science— including soil composition, spatial organisation, key processes, and characteristic properties— and apply established soil classification systems for the systematic description and evaluation of soils.
2. Explain and evaluate soil analytical methods used for soil characterisation, with a focus on applications relevant to soil material re-use, the protection of soil functions and ecosystem services, and the assessment of contaminated soils.
3. Identify and critically interpret legislation, regulations, and standards governing the protection and management of soil resources within the context of (green) building engineering.
4. Apply their knowledge by conducting a structured case study in environmental impact assessment, integrating scientific principles, analytical methods, and regulatory frameworks.
