This course introduces you to the basic concepts of disaster management, emergency preparedness, and crisis risk communication. This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to effectively respond to and recover from various emergencies and disasters. The course encompasses a range of topics, including disaster management, risk assessment, emergency planning, incident management, and post-disaster recovery. The student will understand the definitions of and operational challenges associated with disasters. You will identify key components of risk communication and evaluate how social characteristics influence vulnerabilities to crises and health outcomes.
Additionally, the course will introduce the student to the nature of different kinds of extreme events and the disruptions they can cause for communities. The student will also explore how extreme events can be experienced differently by different members within our communities and equip students with the ability to make informed decisions, manage resources effectively, and communicate clearly in times of crisis
At the end of this course students should be able to:
a. Collect
b. Preserve
c. Transport and
d. Prepare environmental samples devoid of errors
3. Scientifically analyze some environmental samples
4. Interpret the results from the acquired data.
This course EN 580 : Advanced Wastewater Treatment and Design is a postgraduate course taken by students enrolled in the Environmental Engineering programme at the University of Mines and Technology, Tarkwa. The course is designed to equip students to
apply the knowledge of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Microbiology to analyse and solve engineering problems related to water and wastewater collection,
transport, quality assessment and to achieve desirable treatment goals.
This course is ES 279 Principles of Thermodynamics for students in Essikado campus. The course is being taught by Dr. Kenneth Asamoah Boateng.
This will be used for both ES 451 Project Work I (in the first semester) and ES 452 Project Work II (in the second semester)
Dear ES IV Students of UMAT SRID,
ES 451 : PROJECT WORK 1 :This course is the project component of the research method and proposal writing. The objective of Project work is to equip students with skills and knowledge required to run experimental/field work and to gather data, analyse and interpret the data, write and defend a project report.
Content
Each student will undertake a relevant project in one of the fields of Environmental and Safety Engineering under the supervision of a member of staff appointed by the Departmental Board. Project synopsis would be defended in an oral presentation. Written project work reports will be submitted to the department for assessment after an oral PowerPoint presentation
All environmental issues, such as, water quality, habitat loss, energy, climate, natural hazards, invasive species, and many more, take place somewhere, affecting the lives of people and their environmental surroundings. In addition, these issues often exhibit spatial patterns that can be mapped and analysed and require the analysis of data in the form of 2D and 3D maps, aircraft and satellite imagery, real time data feeds from the Internet of Things, and much more.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an exciting way for you to put your interest and passion for all things about the Earth and the Environment into action in ways that are in demand in the workplace by nonprofit organizations, government agencies, academia, and private industry and incredibly relevant to our 21st Century world.
This course provides theoretical foundations and practical applications for social and ecological problem-solving. Through a series of readings, videos, and hands-on exercises covering a variety of environmental themes, issues, and scales, you will learn the fundamentals modern mapping, including projections, symbology, classification, and analysis. You will build your own web mapping applications, including story maps. You will gain skills and confidence to empower you to be able to conduct your own field studies and use maps as analytical tools to build a brighter, more sustainable, more resilient tomorrow.
This course is completely online. However, to foster community and networking, participants/students are strongly encouraged to work through the course in step with their classmates; that is, completing Week 1 content sometime during Week 1, completing Week 2 content sometime during Week 2, and so on. Choose your coursework time that best fits your schedule. We will also hold live virtual sessions via Zoom, as needed. This is a compressed 3credit course: Therefore, plan to spend at least 10 hours each week working through the content of this course.
