Course detail
Ecology in Electrotechnical Profession
FEKT-XPC-EKEAcad. year: 2020/2021
The course deals with the sustainable development strategy, the basic laws of ecology, the environment of man. Furthermore, chemical and physical aspects of the environment - exposure and evaluation of noise, vibration, electrostatic, magnetic and electromagnetic fields, radioecology, light, heat. It explains the basic monitoring environmental parameters, architecture geographic information system. Features hygienic limits of physical fields. It discusses environmental audits and assessments of environmental impact, waste management and environmental legislation.
