Evironmental Impact Assessment

This document outlines an environmental impact assessment elective course for fourth year students. The course introduces students to how infrastructure projects impact the environment and how to assess and mitigate those impacts. Over the course of 10 weeks, students will learn about environmental impact statements, screening processes, scoping and terms of reference, establishing environmental baselines, impact prediction and evaluation techniques, mitigation measures, management of EIA processes, and case studies of EIA reports for development projects. The goal is for students to understand the various environmental impacts of development and mitigation strategies.
