Students will acquire the following knowledge and skills:
– Understand, within the environmental engineering area, the appropriate temporal and spatial scales to provide solutions to problems in domains such as air, soil use, and cities, enabling the design of strategies for their monitoring, from data acquisition, data service access, data processing and interpretation of big data.
– Evaluate different monitoring means to be used under a particular problem solving objective, from standard monitoring equipment and stations to sensors, drones and Earth observation satellites.
– Access environmental global data services and develop skills to get to use them.
– Handling and processing of environmental big data through public and/or tailor-made tools.
– Introduction to scientific visualization techniques, including for large amount of data.
– Understand the importance of data in environmental engineering as a fundamental support for informed decisions with add-value recognized by the labour market.
