Module Aims
The students are introduced to the concept of the Environmental Management System and good practice within
different organisations in order to achieve environmental goals.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this module you should be able to demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of how
environmental management systems are developed and the many practical issues involved.
And also develop an ability to: (i) understand how management and practice support design in meeting
environmental obligations; (ii) within an engineering scheme, to take appropriate steps to protect the environment
and to recognise opportunities for environmental efficiency; and (iii) undertake engineering tasks within a framework
of environmental control.
Transferable Skills
Search, read, and summarise relevant information from different sources (carry out back research).

Revision class [1]
Are there any challenges which might affect a disabled student being able to satisfactorily undertake the teaching
and learning methods of this module?
Where a need has been identified at recruitment, or at any later stage, an assessment will be made in conjunction
with the student and the Disability Office. The College will make reasonable adjustments and/or develop alternative
arrangements in conjunction with the student
Support material for this course will be available on the University intranet. Students will be allowed to record
lectures for personal use. If necessary student note takers and support workers can attend classes. If access to
particular lecture rooms is restrictive then the University will alter the venue for the course to allow full access.

Assessment provision for students with disabilities

Where a need has been identified at recruitment, or at any later stage, an assessment will be made in conjunction
with the student and the Disability Office. The College will make reasonable adjustments and/or develop alternative
arrangements for assessment in conjunction with the student. For students with specific learning difficulties (SpLD)
a database system will communicate the disability requirements of students to appropriate lecturers and an
automatic and discreet system will alert lecturers that SpLD marking guidelines need to be applied. For course
accreditation purposes some competency standards are set by external professional institutions and these will still
need to be demonstrated. However, alternatives will need to be considered by the student and the department if
these cannot be demonstrated through the usual assessment method.
