The course is introductory to the basics of the natural environment and ecology. The purpose is to provide scientific knowledge on the subjects that refer to the natural environment, the forces that influence it, the mechanisms that act on it, and the changes that have occurred from natural processes and human intervention. Physical Geography is a complex subject that draws information and knowledge from various natural sciences, such as Geology, Climatology, Soil Science, Hydrology, Forestry, and Biology, and focuses its attention on how and by what mechanisms the various natural phenomena and environmental conditions are distributed in the geographical space, how often they occur, how they affect humans and are affected by their activities.

The purpose is to provide a complete knowledge of the main categories of natural resources, the processes of their creation and origin, their structure, their spatial and geographical distribution, the methods of their qualitative and quantitative assessment, their management, and their monitoring methods in the context of sustainable development. The main objective of the course is to reflect on the importance of the natural variables of the environment at the national and global level, the reference to the new technologies of their inventory and management to highlight the contribution of today’s Rural and Surveying Engineer in the interdisciplinary process of intervention – planning space.

The purpose is to provide the necessary scientific knowledge and application experiences to create the cognitive background that will help students deal with the issues of environmental impacts from the planned technical projects and programs (developmental, spatial planning, etc.). It also includes elaborating a topic that aims to consolidate and understand the theoretical traditions, emphasizing what an environmental impact study is and how it is done, the category of studies 27 registry advisory committees, and what standards are followed in environmental impact studies.

The interscholastic course “Environment & Development” is a pioneering effort, offered as a horizontal course for all NTUA undergraduate students to explore the interconnection between the development perspective of our country and the protection of its environment. The course was organized based on a series of lectures where for each topic a fruitful dialectical confrontation is developed between the dipole “Development” or “Environment”.

Environmental Planning is a project course that aims to develop the student’s analytical judgment and synthetic ability to deal with existing planning problems. The environmental planning of an area aims at its sustainable development, putting the protection of the environment as the main principle. The subject course’s main objective is acquiring students’ know-how in preparing a real study on environmental issues (planning and management) using the knowledge given in the previous semesters. The project course is a real application in a specific place and time and aims to gain experience in real problems.

It is an elective course that consists of two basic modules that are relevant and interconnected as they aim to inform and educate stakeholders on issues of protection and prevention of environmental impacts from human activities and interventions. The environment can be distinguished it into three large groups, sometimes independent and sometimes in a special mix: The Natural Environment, the Anthropogenic Environment and the Mixed Environment in all three groups human has historically intervened in a variety of ways in order to achieve the maximum possible return for his personal benefit. It has not always been effective in this endeavor. His lack of knowledge in the beginning and his greed afterwards have accumulated a multitude of negative effects that eventually lead to the destruction, alteration and change of the very resources that are a factor of his success and happiness in the final analysis.
