16 Civil and Environmental Engineering <strong>MSc</strong> in Civil Engineering Semesters: 4 Study credits: 120 ECTS Start: September 2007 Seats: 120 Application date: March 15 or June 1, 2007 Civil engineers are responsible for planning, construction and maintenance of most of our sur- roundings. It takes a profound and versatile knowledge to master the disciplines involved including mechanics, material science, energy technology, heat and mass transfer, hydraulics, acoustics, risk as- sessment, computer modelling and simulation, 3D-visualization, communication and management. Civil Engineering comprises planning, design, risk -assessment, erection and maintenance of build- ings, services, construction work and towns. The subjects of the education varies from roads, rail- ways, bridges and tunnels to houses and halls with load bearing structures and facades and services for heating, lighting, acoustics and fire safety, water supply drain and sewers, channels, harbours and off-shore structures and town plans. Four specializations are offered: Building Structures with design of structures for bridges, halls and houses, building design, fire safety, acoustics, production and maintenance. Building Services with total energy comsumption, building envelopes, heating, ventilation, aircondi- tion, water and power supply, solar energy, draining and fire safety. Soil and Water Mechanics with foundations, retaining walls, dams, roads, railways, airports, har- bours, channels, tunnels, off-shore structures, sewers and energy plants. Urban and Construction management with planning of projects, erection and maintenance, town plans and the integrated function of a build environment. A number of courses can be chosen for each specialization, so that the student may gain special competences or attending recommended course sequences. Specializations: Building Structures, Building Services, Soil and Water Mechanics, Urban and Construction Management Career opportunities: Consulting Engineers, Contractors, Component manufactures Authorities, Insurance Engineers, Researchers. Prerequisites: BSc degree in Civil Engineering with Basics of : Physics and mathematics incl. differential equations CAD and the Finite Element Method Building materials, properties and micro structures Building technology Structural design in steel, concrete and wood Building physics including heat and moisture transport Planning and production of building projects Program coordinator: Associate Professor Kristian Hertz khz@byg.dtu.dk) Department: Department of Civil Engineering (www.byg.dtu.dk) Read more: www.byg.dtu.dk (Department web site) <strong>MSc</strong> in Environmental Engineering Semesters: 4 Study credits: 120 ECTS Start: September 2007 Seats: 60 Application date: March 15 or June 1, 2007 Several activities in an industrialized society lead to use of resources and pollution of our environment. There is an utmost need to develop and establish technological plants which can ensure the human health in the society by providing clean drinking water on a sustainable basis. Besides, there is also demand of systems to manage the waste streams of the society and to reduce emissions to the environment. Such environmental systems are sewage treatment plants, remediation systems at contaminated sites or air pollution control units to avoid air pollution from waste incineration plants. Environmental plants and systems should be established with a basic understanding of the effect of emissions on the surroundings and the needed reduction in emissions to obtain the necessary environmental benefit. Therefore courses covering pollution of water, air and soil are an integrated part of the environmental engineering program. The program focuses also on water resource issues. Globally there is an increasing demand of water for household, agriculture and industry. Thus there is a need for better methods to localize and quantify available water resources. Besides, deterioration of the water resource by several pollutant sources gives a need to evaluate the water quality. Specialization into a more management oriented profile is also an option. Here the focus can be on industrial environmental management or management issues specially related to developing countries or society´s use of chemicals. Study lines: Environmental Technology Water Resources Environmental Management Career opportunities: Employed in consulting companies, industrial companies, research institutions, universities and public authorities (on a local, regional or state level). Prerequisites: BSc degree in environmental-, chemical- or civil engineering or other relevant academic background. Skills within at least one of the following subjects: Geology, Hydraulics, Statistics, Ecology, Hydrology, Management Program coordinator: Associate Professor Peter Kjeldsen (pk@er.dtu.dk) Department: Institute of Environment and Recourses (www.er.dtu.dk) Read more: www.er.dtu.dk
