GEN 104 Man and Environment Assignment - Emirates College of Technology

Environmental pollution in UAE

Introduction - Environmental Studies as an academic field is the product of efforts to understand and respond to the variety of changes humans have wrought in our world. Students in Environmental Studies are motivated by concern for welfare of the many human and non-human communities that shape this planet. The Environmental Studies Program actively cultivates in our students both engagement with and informed reflection about those communities. To this end, the curriculum includes an interdisciplinary core that encourages students to explore the social, aesthetic, ethical, scientific, and technical aspects of environmental questions; concentrations that allow students to approach these questions with more focused knowledge and methodological tools; a community-engaged research course; and an internship with an environmentally focused organization or business.

Environmental Science Learning Objectives - Environmental Sciences shall qualify students for research of international standard and for other work in society where there are high demands on scientific insight and analytical thinking, in accordance with recognized scientific principles and standards in research ethics.

Students will demonstrate their ability to communicate effectively in written and oral form, demonstrating the ability to create an appropriate annotated bibliography and the ability to use effective presentation skills.

1. Project Instructions -

Try to ensure that your report contains the following elements:

a. Title page - This should include the project title and names of all group members. You can also list the name of your teacher.

b. Executive Summary - It is a very brief summary of the report's contents. It should be about half a page. This is one of the most important components of the report. It should begin with a clear statement of what the project is about so that the nature and scope of the project can be understood by a lay reader.

c. Acknowledgements - It is usual to thank those individuals who have provided particularly useful assistance during your project.

d. Contents page - This should list the main chapters and (sub) sections of your report. Choose self-explanatory chapter and section titles and use double spacing for clarity. You should include page numbers indicating where each chapter/section begins. Try to avoid too many levels of subheading - three is sufficient.

e. Body of report - The central part of the report should consist of three chapters detailing the actual work undertaken during the project. You need to discuss the content of these sections thoroughly with your teacher.

f. Conclusions - The project's conclusions should list the things which have been learnt as a result of the work you have done.

g. Appendix and Bibliography - Use appendices to contain information which is peripheral to the main body of the report. You should try to bind all your material in a single volume if possible. Document the data collected from a text book, a magazine, or a website identifying its sources while using the appropriate form.

Note - Need to follow all requirements and PPT as points not paragraph, add photos in both files.
