- To be able to explain environment-related issues reported in news medias based on knowledge of physics, chemistry and biology
with easy terms that are understandable by senior or junior high school students.
- To be able to theoretically explain mechanisms of the environmental issues. For example, you can explain why the Earth gets warm when CO2 concentration increases by explaining the general circulation and energy balance in the atmosphere.
- To be able to clearly explain basic technical terms of environment-related issues in the field of Civil Engineering.
