COURSE GOAL:
To introduce students to useful biodegradation processes for removal or detoxification of pollutants in soil, water and sediment and to introduce them to the subject of bioremediation so that they can decide and act with the application of acquired knowledge in the field of environmental protection with environmentally friendly processes.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
Course objective:
To familiarize students with useful biodegradation processes for the removal or detoxification of pollutants in soil, water and sediment and to introduce them to the subject of bioremediation so that they can decide and act with the application of the acquired knowledge in the field of environmental protection.
Course learning outcomes (4-8):
1. identify sources and causes of water and soil pollution
2. select clean cultures of microorganisms to remove specific pollutants
3. integrate microbiological processes and environmental conditions for effective bioremediation
4. evaluate economic and environmental factors in the application of bioremediation
5. recommend an acceptable bioremediation process to solve environmental problems
Program-level learning outcomes:
1. link the causes and consequences of environmental pollution in the analysis of environmental indicators
2. apply eco-engineering methodology in process development
3. apply an eco-engineering approach in evaluating the justification of using a particular technology in environmental protection
4. select a technology to reduce the negative impact on the environment and the consumption of raw materials and natural resources for sustainable development
