CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

CIVENGR 723

Principles of energy applied to environmental engineering such as energy resources, sustainability concerns, work and power, thermodynamics, system and process efficiencies, energy production from waste, heat transfer, and heating and cooling of systems.

CIVENGR 822

Advanced theory and applications of chemical and physical-chemical processes for the treatment of water and wastewater; lab techniques to assess design requirements and treatability. Introductory knowledge of Environmental Engineering [such asCIV ENGR 320] is required.

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 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 721

Biological principles important to diagnosing and controlling pollution through environmental engineering applications such as fate and transport of contaminants in the environment, eutrophication, water treatment for human consumption, biological waste treatment for pollution control and bioenergy generation.
