Program Overview
EVERGREEN'S Applied Environmental Technology course provides training on applied techniques to assess contamination in different media shuch as soil, groundwater and air and to remediate and mitigate the contamination issues. The course offers an overview of air and noise pollution, water and waste water treatment, solid waste management and provides in-depth techniques on environmental site characterization, soil and groundwater contaminationassessment, risk assessment/management and remediation of soil and groundwater. The course also details the field investigation methods for site characterization, and offers field modules to observe different drilling and sampling techniwues in field. Regulatory framework and environmental management aspects are also covered in this two year diploma program to provide students insight on regulatory frameworks in Alberta, Canada and United States of America. The course provides learning on applied computer techniques and software related to environment such as GIS and Remote sensing. Thse Tools in relation to geophysical techniques and geological mapping are essential parts of site characterization and diagnosing environmental issues. Co-requisite to these modules including applied chemicalprocess in environment, applied mathematicas and computer techniques are covered at the start of the course to provise strong foundation to learn the advanced technical modules.
