Introduction
environmental engineering
Research, services, planning, projects and management of issues related to the man/environment/development trinomial.
Field of action
Private initiative, public, municipal, state and federal bodies, both in the implementation of projects, plans and preventive actions and/or mitigating the environmental impacts resulting from human activities, as well as in the inspection of activities. Consultancy and advisory.
Course Objectives
The Environmental Engineering course aims to train a professional able to predict, analyze and treat the environmental impacts generated by anthropic action, being able to propose solutions that avoid or minimize its adverse effects on the environment, in addition to managing, planning and executing related actions. to the trinomial: society, economy and environment.
Admission profile
In view of the profile outlined for all graduates of the Universidade de Caxias do Sul to which the professional training process of the different courses of this Institution should converge; The Engineer graduated from the Environmental Engineering course at UCS must have solid training both in the areas of basic knowledge and in the areas of professional training. These general characteristics should give you specific skills to apply, develop and improve knowledge, skills and attitudes, necessary both to promptly meet current social demands through technical-scientific interventions, and to train yourself in the face of new demands arising from socio-environmental transformations.
It is important to emphasize that the understanding of environmental phenomena is extremely complex and interdependent. The diversity of actions that trigger adverse effects on the environment has demonstrated the need to expand the attributes of the Environmental Engineer, including interventions of a preventive nature, in addition to merely remedial ones. To this end, the Environmental Engineer's academic training should allow for participation in environmental characterization studies, in the analysis of susceptibilities and natural vocations of the environment, in the preparation of environmental impact studies, in the proposition, implementation and monitoring of mitigating measures or environmental actions urban and rural preventive measures.
Given this profile, the professional should be able to holistically analyze the environmental impacts generated by anthropic action, thus being able to plan, propose, evaluate, design and operate solutions that avoid or minimize adverse effects on the environment.
