ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

CIVENGR 823

Engineering design project applied to environmental engineering solutions involving environmental chemistry, environmental quality, physical-chemical treatment processes, biological treatment processes, solid and hazardous waste engineering, energy, resource recovery, economic analysis, hydrology, and/or hydraulics and applied fluid mechanics.

CIVENGR 722

Principles of general, physical, equilibrium, colloid and biochemistry applied to environmental engineering processes such as evaluating environmental quality and treating water, air and soil to meet environmental standards.

CIVENGR 422

Overview of the public health profession and the role of environmental sanitary engineers in public health. Introduction to chemical and microbial contaminants of public health concern - their routes of exposure and development of regulatory standards for drinking water, air, hazardous wastes, and industrial workplaces. Introduction to occurrence, toxicity, and virulence as components of public health risk and the engineer's role in identifying occurrence and design of engineering controls for public health protection.

CIVENGR 929

Current research and literature on water, wastewater, water pollution control, solid wastes engineering and management.

CIVENGR 322

Combination of theory and laboratory practice to study basic unit operations and processes in environmental engineering. Emphasis on water and wastewater treatment processes, such as coagulation/flocculation, chemical precipitation, filtration, adsorption, activated sludge, anaerobic digestion, and substrate utilization kinetics.
