Apply the knowledge of environmental sciences, their related disciplines, applications and tools to the management of the environmental issues
Gain new knowledge and continually enhance the available information to improve the understanding and handling of the surrounding environment
Participate in the development and implementation of environmental policies, planning and strategies
Be able to apply physical phenomena to some environmental issues such as transport of pollutants in aquatic ecosystem, transfer of oxygen between atmosphere and water systems, thermal pollution and lakes stratifications.
