What you’ll be able to do

  • Use basic principles of general, physical, equilibrium, colloid, and biological chemistry to solve water chemistry problems related to environmental engineering

  • Use conservation of mass and energy principles to solve water chemistry problems related to environmental engineering

  • Describe the risks to public health and welfare associated with chemical contaminants and greenhouse gases and explain how these risks are used to develop environmental policies and regulations

  • Describe the basic biochemical reactions important to environmental engineering (aerobic, anoxic, anaerobic, photosynthetic), and estimate the enthalpy of reactions when the formulation of reactants and products are known

  • Explain the roles of nutrients and organic carbon in water quality, and their relative concentrations in oligotrophic waters, eutrophic waters, and typical wastes; discuss anthropogenic sources of nutrients and policies for their control

  • Explain connections between environmental chemistry principles and processes used in environmental engineering

  • Review viable options and complete the preliminary design of a solution to an identified environmental engineering problem using at least two areas of environmental chemistry
