Engineering School Impacts

YOUR SCHOOL IMPACTS

Your impact is both direct, meaning the effect is felt where you are, and also indirect. e.g. When you switch on a light, the illumination will have an impact - on your eyes, while the indirect impact is at the power stations which pollute the water and air, that contributes to global warming. While @ CUL, each of the schools will create similar sorts of impacts - from normal business and office operations. However, there will be specific impacts arising from the activites associated with those schools.

Virtually everything we do uses Raw materials and Energy, needs Food and Transport, and produces Waste.

SPECIAL ENGINEERING SCHOOL IMPACTS

Large construction projects and smaller projects in urban areas are both important for citizens and other economic activities taking place in the neighbourhood. Typical negative impacts include noise and dust production, traffic increase, shortage of parking space, visual impacts, etc.

Environmental engineering applies science and engineering principles to improve the environment and provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation and for other organisms, and to remediate polluted sites. Environmental "civil" engineers focus on hydrology, water resources management and water treatment plant design. Environmental "chemical" engineers, on the other hand, focus on environmental chemistry, advanced air and water treatment technologies and separation processes.

Perhaps more than any School, engineering now has to consider its environmental impacts, particularly resource depletion and carbon dioxide creation, throughout its chain of use from source of materials to the waste created.
