Environmental Impact Assessment0466400

Course title: Environmental Impact Assessment 

Course number: 0466400 

Credits: 3 

Prerequisite: 0466202 + 0466201 + 0460227 

This course will introduce and discuss in detail the National Environmental Policy Act., its implementations and implications. This act, which has been referred to as the “Magna Carta for the environment”, is intended to ensure that balanced decision making occurs regarding the environment. Over a thousand environmental impact assessments are prepared annually. This course will explore the need for environmental impact assessments, the different types of assessments, and the regulatory and technical requirements of preparing and assessment.
