Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, optimise, carry out and implement projects and solutions to address a complex problem by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Identify complex problems to be solved and formulate the specifications by integrating client needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Implement a chosen solution in the form of a drawing, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
• Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation (optimisation, quality, sustainability, responsibility, etc.).
• Mobilise a structured set of artistic and scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out architectural missions using their expertise and adaptability.
• Conduct a critical and contextualised analysis of requests to establish the choice of a guiding concept (artistic, technical, societal, etc.).
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of built environment for the benefit of humans.
• Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - artistically, scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Argue to and persuade customers, teachers and a board, both orally and in writing
• Select and use the written and oral communication methods and materials adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Use and produce scientific and technical documents (reports, plans, specifications, etc.) adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.

Learning Outcomes of UE

This environment and water treatment course will allow students to: - Understand the impact of human activity on the environment; - Describe the main sources of pollution; - Interpret waste water analysis reports based sanitation standards; - Describe the techniques of collective and individual treatment of urban wastewater; - Implement processes or technologies that reduce environmental impacts as part of their project.

Content of UE

The course content is organised into two parts. The first is based on the description of ecosystems, aqueous and gaseous pollution, impacts of human activities on the environment and on ecosystems. The second part is dedicated to the study of the properties of natural water and aqueous pollution, environmental legislation in the field of urban wastewater. The individual and collective treatment of water for drinking and sanitation are discussed: primary (mechanical and physico-chemical), secondary (biological / chemical) and tertiary treatment (elimination of nitrogen and phosphorus), treatment of sludge, and individual purification stations.
