Presentation
The Master’s Degree in Environmental Engineering and Land Use Planning should include:
- The study and application of Earth and Life Sciences and human components and dynamics in the understanding of the complexity of the biophysical and the social (socio-environmental systems) in relation to the study of the characterisation and management of natural resources(water, geological and soil) (integrated management of hydrographic basins, geological resources and soil conservation).
- The political, institutional and legal frameworks that are the basis for the development models, systems and land and environmental management instruments, as well as the national and regional development models.
- The technology of the land observation systemsassociated with the implementation of geographic information systems and spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is associated with modelling and support systems for technical and political decision-making.
- The knowledge, practices and instruments required for environmental infrastructure and technology and waste and effluent management projects, as well as in energy production and management in relation to the implementation of environmental auditing and management systems.
- Skills in research and management methods in innovation and development of personal attitudes are transversal to the entire course.
At the same time, the aim is to create skills in research methods and to develop personal attitudes, particularly in the management of innovation, communication, negotiation and entrepreneurship, transversal to the entire course.
This course takes the requirements of professional associations into account, in association with the training providing and the institution’s in-house scientific and cultural project, with the aim of reinforcing current and potential career prospects in areas of increased employability and contributing to local/regional development for coordination between Research/Teaching, Administration and Companies.
The candidates accepted without a first cycle in engineering cannot be admitted to the Engineers’ Association or use the professional title of engineer.
