Topic	Sub-topic
Theory classes	Environmental Basis: Sustainable Development, Legislation, Effects of pollutants, Data processing the environment in the company. Air Pollution. Water Pollution and Treatment. Remediation of contaminated soils. Noise Pollution. Radiation Contamination. Energy use and its environmental impacts. Engineering applied to the monitoring of natural resources, detection and evaluation of environmental disturbances, remediation and corrective actions. Waste: origin, treatment and management. Mining waste. Qualitative and quantitative impact assessment. Environmental project management.
Practical classes	Practical classes will be held with the aim of producing an account of how the specific problem case allotted to the multidisciplinary team was solved. This report will be presented in class to the lecturer and to the other students on the course so as to assign it a mark. Supervised practical work will be undertaken during the time slots reserved for practicals. The times assigned to tutorials will be used to resolve any difficulties that may arise.

Methodologies

Methodologies   ::  

	Description
Laboratory practicals	The "laboratory" practicals will take place in the computer classroom in order to prepare the report on the resolution of the practical case assigned to the multidisciplinary team to be presented in the classroom to the teacher and the rest of the students for grading. The practice will be guided during the teaching hours assigned for the practice and the students will complete the work on their own, although they can use the "Virtual Classroom" developed by the University of León, which favours continuous communication between the teacher and the students to complete and focus the work carried out. During the hours assigned to "Tutorials", any incidents that may arise will be resolved.
Field work/trips	Several field trips and visits to facilities of interest from the point of view of environmental engineering will be carried out. The following facilities will be visited: mines, quarries, explosives factories, mineral treatment plants, waste treatment plants, thermal power stations, wastewater and industrial wastewater treatment plants, cement factories, industrial plants (metal, food, ceramics, etc.). Field trips associated with the work to be carried out by the multidisciplinary teams will also be carried out in order to complete the report to be presented. It is possible that an analytical report on what has been observed in the facilities visited may be requested.
Assignments	Development: Students must develop the specific work developed by the multidisciplinary team designated in the laboratory practicals and present and defend it before the lecturer and the rest of their classmates for their grade. Resources: Bibliographic and computer resources.
Presentations / expositions	There will be public presentations of the work carried out by the student teams.
Lecture	Lectures: Development: They are developed by means of a blackboard and multimedia presentation. THEORY CLASSES: Firstly, a theoretical exposition of all the concepts included in the programme is given. Subsequently, the concepts are justified and their application to specific cases is shown. PRACTICAL CLASSES: In the classroom, there will be a presentation of practical cases already carried out in different companies as examples to clarify the concepts presented in the theoretical classes. Resources: Classroom equipment (video projector, computer, blackboard, etc.).

Personalized attention

Assignments

Description Development: This will be dedicated to resolving any doubts that students may have and, in particular, to proposing and guiding the work to be carried out. Resources: In addition to the traditional tutoring, interaction between the teacher and the student is foreseen through the computer platform "Aula Virtual", belonging to the e-learning offer of the website of the University of León.

Assessment

	Description	Qualification
Presentations / expositions	Presentations and participation in activities proposed by the teacher, related to practical work and seminars, demonstrating their know-how, which will add up to 20% of the grade.	20%
Assignments	Evaluation of the practical work, which will assess the skills acquired by the student in the practical application of knowledge. It is required to have handed in 100% of the required assignments. This will count for 30% of the grade.	30 %
Extended-answer tests	Written exam on theoretical knowledge. It will count for 50% of the grade. This test will mainly assess the mastery of the basic knowledge of the subject. Another aspect that will be evaluated with this test is the structuring of the contents.	50 %
