Environmental Engineering in Civil Construction

The aim of the education in this field is to prepare the future engineer to design, construct, and maintain systems and installations: heating, water supply, sewerage, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, gas and water, wastewater and air treatment systems, as well as waste management systems and facilities.

In particular, the student learns the knowledge and skills in the following areas:

advanced solutions used in building systems to ensure the safety of buildings and the comfort of their users, including the use of renewable energy sources,
new technologies used in environmental protection, especially water and air,
sustainable water supply, wastewater treatment, waste disposal, and district heating systems,
computer-aided design of building systems and networks  (SWMM, EPANET, AutoCAD, Arcadia-Start, Arcadia-InteliCAD, QGIS, Auditor OZC and CO, Instaltherm HCR and OZC, Arcadia-Thermo, NormaPRO), and Building Information Modeling (Arcadia-BIM).

With regard to the above, students also learn practical skills through a number of projects, engineering studies and measurements carried out in the laboratory and/or in the field, as well as through study visits and traineeship at specialized enterprises and municipal facilities. They also carry out projects and studies in cooperation with students of architecture and civil engineering, e.g. with PBL (Problem Based Learning) methods, which allows them to get practical training before the implementation of design and investment tasks in their future professional work.

Linking this degree program with civil engineering, architecture, and spatial planning allowed the designers of the program curriculum to distinguish it from similar degree programs offered by other higher education institutions.
