Legislation and policies related to environmental management Introduce term environmental assessment method. Various cases of civil engineering impact on the environment; The introduction of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), RKL and RPL, UKL and UPL in civil engineering development; Environmental audits; The introduction of various technologies for the conservation and manage the environmental impact due to civil engineering works, or other activities, recharge wells, the waste / wastewater plant.
Prerequisite Courses : Chemistry for Civil Engineering (Semester I)
Required/ elective   Required
Studio work : Field assignment (conducting environmental audit of river in biotic and abiotic aspects, review the problems against existing scientific rule or regulation).
Laboratory work : N/A
Spesific goals of the course
Spesific outcomes : The students are expected to have the environmental awareness to ensure that the development will not deviate far away from the environmental moral ‘vitalism’, understand the fundamentals (identification, prediction and impact evaluation) for environmental impact analysis to analyze the environmental impact from a civil engineering activity, understand environmental audit and scientific benchmark and the regulations for audit review.
Student outcomes :
  1. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to have data analysis and interpretation
  2. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve civil engineering problems by considering local resources
  3. An understanding on the benefit of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and social context
