EIA in teaching sustainable development and environmental protection in engineering education

Abstract

A multifaceted approach in teaching the environmental impact assessment (EIA) as a way to stress the role of environmental education in technical sciences is the focus of this article. The EIA is an example of an effective tool that supports spatial planning in implementing sustainable development. The aim is to present the idea and benefits of a facilitative and collaborative approach in teaching the EIA, stressing the role of student co-operation and involvement, as well as a participatory and interdisciplinary approach. Inspiring controversial case studies present different problems and approaches as examples of best practice. The teaching method underlies the necessity of understanding wider processes leading to environmental threats and the ways to prevent them, crossing different disciplines. Such an approach, attractive to students, can present the EIA not only as a formal procedure, but as a useful tool for environmental protection. Consequently, it may strengthen the student’s future activities in implementing the idea of sustainable development in practice.
