1 Certificate in Environmental Impact Assessment (2018/2019) Offered by: Faculty of Science EIA Certificate Coordinator: Patricia Lane (Biology), The Certificate in Environmental Impact Assessment is for students who are interested in, or majoring in environmental areas, and who wish to pursue additional training in EIA. This certificate is available to students in the Faculty of Science, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Faculty of Management, and the College of Sustainability. Students will learn to: 1. Apply a Project EIA Framework in the preparation of a Nova Scotia - based EIA. 2. Demonstrate an understanding of relevant federal and provincial (Nova Scotia) legislation. 3. Design a meaningful stakeholder participation program. 4. Use environmental impact and risk methodologies to accurately predict project impacts. 5. Design an Environmental Management Plan that includes: mitigation, enhancement, compensation, and monitoring. 6. Construct a follow-up plan for residual impacts and project accountability. 7. Prepare a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) y for a federal policy. Disclaimer: This EIA Certificate was developed within Dalhousie University and it is not designed to fulfill any governmental and/or professional requirements outside of the university, in Canada or abroad. The Certificate requires a total of 24 credit hours as follows: Required EIA course: BIOL /ENVS (3 credit hours) to be taken in fourth year. Note: transfer or online courses are not acceptable substitutes for this requirement. Introductory science, SUST, or IDS course (min 3 credit hours) from Table 1. Environmental courses with theoretical content from Table 2 (minimum 9 credit hours). Methods courses with field, laboratory, statistical, or modelling experience from Table 3 (minimum 3 credit hours) Supplementary courses in Major or Related Disciplines from Table 4 (minimum 6 credit hours). Students must obtain a minimum grade of B for all courses counted toward the certificate. Classes cannot be substituted from one table to another. Discontinued courses are no longer available for registration, but can satisfy certificate requirements if they are on your transcript. Table 1.
