- Synopsis:
-
Environmental natural and physical components e.g. mechanic, electric, magnetic fields, excited and ionising particles and waste are treated in this course. Measuring systems, methods of measurement and sensors of environmental quantities are dealt with. Many of these methods are practically exercised in laboratories.
- Requirements:
-
Elaboration of 5 laboratory reports, participate at one outdoor measurement and one excursion, successfully written test. Labs are concentrated to two weeks at the end of March. Outdoor measurement and excursions to the second part of semester. More detailed information on http://aldebaran.feld.cvut.cz/vyuka/environmental_engineering/
