CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING DECISION MAKING

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 578

The application of theoretically and academically acquired knowledge to a civil and environmental engineering problem in as near "real-world" as possible.

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.

CIVENGR/GLE 421

Uses the three paradigms of sustainability (environmental, social, and economic) for strategic environmental initiatives in an engineering setting. Proactive environmental management opportunities, including practices of pollution prevention, industrial ecology, and design for the environment. A systems approach to manufacturing, examining the life cycle of products, incorporating total cost accounting, extended producer responsibility, and design for end-of-life.

CIVENGR/PUBAFFR 694

Comprehensive systems approach to civil infrastructure and asset management with emphasis on transportation facilities. Social, political, economic factors that influence transportation planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation. Needs assessment, information management, performance measurement, life cycle cost and benefits analysis, prioritization and optimization, budgeting and finance.
