Resources required for agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture. Best management practices for stormwater and agricultural runoff. Engineered wetlands. Ecological economics and restoration.
Ecological Engineering is the design of sustainable systems that derive their energy and materials from natural and engineered ecosystems. These designs aim to integrate human society with the natural environment for the benefit of both. Applications include engineered wetlands, fish passage design and aquaculture systems. Relevant tools include environmental management and models of material mass flow and life cycle assessment.
Develop a broader appreciation of the interconnectedness of technical, social, cultural and economic issues in ecological engineering applications Model ecosystem behaviour within a catchment and material flows as an example of quantifying ecological responses to changes in system parameters Deepen their understanding of constructed wetland technologies as applied to wastewater treatment Evaluate site characteristics and challenges of impaired ecosystems and be able to suggest ecologically appropriate design solutions to address these issues, especially in the context of fish passage design

You cannot pass this course unless you achieve a mark of at least 40% in the final exam. A student who narrowly fails to achieve 40%, but who performs very well in the other assignments, may be eligible for a pass.All assignments must be submitted by the due date via Learn electronically AND a printed copy to the box designated for this course on Level 2. Late submissions will not be accepted. If a student is unable to complete and submit an assignment by the deadline due to personal circumstances beyond their control they should discuss this with the lecturer involved as soon as possible.Any student who has been impaired by significant exceptional and/or unforeseeable circumstancesthat have prevented them from completing any major assessment items, or that have impaired their performance such that the results are not representative of their true level of mastery of the course material, may apply for special consideration through the formal university process. The applicability and academic remedy/action associated with the special consideration process is listed for each assessment item below. Please refer to the University Special Consideration Regulations and Special Consideration Policies and Procedures documentation, https://www.canterbury.ac.nz/study/specialconsideration/ for more information on the acceptable grounds for special consideration and the application process.Assessment Item Academic RemedyAssignment 1 The assignment due date cannot be extended. Students will need to submit the work completed up to the moment of impairment by the due date and will be marked based on the submitted work. Special considerations can be applied for through the formal process outlined above.Assignment 2 An extension will be granted for evidence-supported requests. Extensions will typically be for up to one week, but the duration will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Students seeking an extension must contact the course coordinator as soon as possible with evidence of their situation, and preferably before the due date.Exam Serious/Severe Impact:Students will be offered an equivalent alternative exam that will replace their original exam mark.This exam will be held in the week immediately following the exam periodModerate Impact: A derived mark based on performance relative to class on all assessment items will apply.Note: All communication associated with the arrangement of equivalent alternative tests/exams will be conducted using official UC email accounts. The offer to sit an alternative assessment will come with a list of potential dates/times. Students will have a clearly specified amount of time to respond to the offer to sit the alternative assessment and accept one of the listed dates/times. If the offer is declined, the original assessment mark will be used to compute the course grade. Failure to respond in the specified time frame will be interpreted as a declined offer.
Remote completionENCN405 is not available for distance learning. The computer lab and field trips are essentialcomponents of the course and need to be attended in order to pass the course.
