Prologue Dear Reader, The Department of Environmental Engineering (EnvEng) of the Technical University of Crete has been operating since the academic year 1997 -1998. During the 14 years the Department was awarded 347 Environmental Engineering Degrees, 301 Masters Degrees (M.Sc.) and 32 Doctoral degrees (PhD). Our departmental faculty has rich research and teaching record experienced providing quality education in Universities and Institutes Abroad (USA, Canada and Europe),. The research activity that takes place in the Department regarding the management, quality and environmental restoration is extremely innovative. High quality scientific publications and participation in research programs at the national and European level is the result of international recognition of the Department. The EnvEng Department aims to train engineers in the areas of environmental management, environmental planning processes and development, environmental hydraulics and Geoenvironmental Engineering. This is accomplished through the undergraduate program that includes courses designed to acquire high-quality, high-level theoretical background and laboratory experience. Our students, with the contribution of the faculty, learn how to correct past mistakes, to avoid development or worsening of current environmental problems and to design the paths of development for a better future, with respect to humans and the environment in a sustainable developmental framework. The graduates of the Department are members of the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) as civil engineers or as chemical engineers based on their thesis subject. Our graduates work in universities and research centers in Greece and abroad, industry, public services and as professional engineers. On behalf of our department faculty I warmly welcome and invite you for a tour on our website (www.enveng.tuc.gr). Sincerely, Michael Lazaridis Associate Professor Head of the Department

Additional educational processes take place in small, predefined groups of students, and attendance is mandatory. Laboratory exercises play an important role in the training of Environmental Engineers, Specialized laboratories provide consolidated knowledge and practice through planned experiments. The undergraduate studies last for ten (10) semesters, including the diploma thesis project.

SEMESTERS AND OFFICIAL HOLIDAYS

The exact start and end dates of semesters and exam periods are determined by the Senate of the Technical University of Crete. Each semester includes at least 13 full weeks of teaching and 2 weeks for examinations. The holidays during the academic year are: • Fall Semester

o The 28th of October (Anniversary) o the 17th of November (Anniversary) o the 21st of November (Day Of Chania Town) o From 24 December to 6 January (Christmas Holidays) o The 30th of January (Three Hierarchs)

• Spring semester o the Ash Monday o The 25th March (Revolution Day 1821) o Holy Week and Easter Week (Easter Holidays) o the days of student elections.

CURRICULA

The curricula are established for each academic year at the end of the spring semester of the previous academic year. The curricula include: � titles of mandatory and elective courses,

� the hours of teaching (theory and tutorial) per week, � The laboratory hours per week, � The credit units in the ECTS system. � The detailed description of the content each course.

The courses are divided into two categories: (a) mandatory and (b) elective courses. The first category includes core courses that provide fundamental knowledge to students and should all be successfully completed without exception. The second category includes a large number of specialized courses, by inviting each student to select and successfully complete a sufficient number to receive the diploma. The sequential order of courses in semesters is indicative and not compulsory for the students except the sequence of prerequisite and dependent on prerequisite courses. This series is Standard Undergraduate Program Guide of the Environmental Engineering Department.

29

COURSES REGISTRATION AND ATTENDANCE

Each student in each semester is allowed to register to a number of courses equal to the number of courses that provides its curriculum for this semester, plus five (ν+5). In the ninth semester students can register ν+10 courses and by the tenth semester can register to up to 16 courses. Students have the opportunity to participate to two (2) examination periods for each semester. For the fall semester each year, the first exam period begins in January, while the second exam period in September. For the spring semester each year, the first exam period begins in June, while the second exam period is also taking place in September. Students, who do not qualify for a specific course, after the second exam period, must re-register to this course and follow once again all educational and examination procedures.

EDUCATIONAL VISITS

Under the mandatory courses of the 3rd and 4th academic year educational visits may be conducted for practice for up to one week, including visits to companies and industries. The excursions take place during the period defined according to the academic calendar and only if the participation rate of students is over 70%.

INTERNSHIP

The internship provides an excellent opportunity for students of the Department of Environmental Engineering, to learn about activities that directly or indirectly are related to the subject of their study interest. Given the young age of the Department (the first graduates of the Department of Environmental Engineering graduated in 2002) and unidentified (institutional and practical) professional rights of Environmental Engineers, contact with the related market is necessary in order to inform business and companies regarding the human resources that will be soon available. On the other hand, faculty members have the opportunity to contact with industry and possibly to develop partnerships beyond the scope of training (e.g. research level). In addition, the Department gives the opportunity of assessment and qualification of education provided to students using the ratings of executives of companies.

COURSES GRADES

The grades for all courses are expressed at the scale of 0 to 10, including the use of fractions and the degree of success based on 5 (five). The grades results of the courses of each semester are submitted to the Secretariat within maximum 3 (three) weeks after the semester exams, with the responsibility of the professors. The weights of the courses are calculated according to the credit units of each course as shown in the following table:

The Supervisor may be appointed only professors of the Faculty of Environmental Engineering, who chairs the supervisor committee. During the defense of the Diploma Thesis, the presence of all the three members of the supervisor committee is compulsory. The subject of the thesis and the synthesis of the three-member supervisor committee are approved by the General Assembly. The progress of the thesis is monitored at regular intervals in cooperation between the student and supervisor.

Diploma Thesis content The subject and content of the thesis must be autonomous and complete and must include a clear and understandable content. The thesis is a written report of the student for this must include: documentation of the necessity of implementing the project, full literature review, description of experimental procedure and methodology, presentation and discussion of results, conclusions and recommendations. The thesis will also contain all the data documenting the results in the form of annexes, such as figures, tables, etc. Thus the pursuit of each student should be so the in-depth processing and the integrated presentation of the subject.

Period of Diploma Thesis and deadlines The minimum duration of each diploma thesis is one academic semester. The preparation of the dissertation should be an ongoing, intensive and structured way to achieve the best use of time of the student and the supervisor and to minimize employment time. In the case of group work (up to 3 students) and although the evaluation of each candidate is done separately, the presentation

32

of a single written report, regardless of the number of group members, is required. The student has to complete all curriculum courses in order to be able to defend his thesis. The date and time of the defend is set after communication with the supervising committee. The defense of the theses takes place during the exam periods January, June, September and until 20 days after the exam period for obtaining a Diploma in the next Diploma award ceremony.

Thesis Grade The grading of the thesis is done separately from each member the three members of the supervising committee and the average grade is extracted. The weighting factor of Thesis set at 20% of the total Diploma grade, so as to correspond to approximately 2 semesters. After the successful defense of the thesis students must submit two (2) copies to the Secretary of the Department, one (1) copy in the library of the University of Crete and three (3) for the members of the supervising committee.

3.7 Requirements for the Diploma of Environmental Engineering

The conditions for obtaining the Diploma are: Register at the Department of Environmental Engineering and coursework for at least 10 semesters in order for students to be enrolled properly. The required number of courses for a Diploma resulting from the corresponding curriculum during the relevant academic year of the registration of the student, taking into account the extra lessons arising from changes in Undergraduate Program Guide included in each existing transition. The Diploma grade is extracted from the grades of all courses required for a Diploma, and the grade of Diploma thesis. The extent of the thesis holds at 20% of the total grade. To calculate the Diploma grade, the grade of each course is multiplied by the weighting of the course. The sum of multiplications divided by the sum of weights of all classes shows the average courses grade. The Diploma grade is calculated from the average of the courses grades with weighting of 80% and the thesis grade weighting to 20%.
