3.00 Credits
Design concepts for equipment and processes used in biological, food and agricultural industries. Initiation of comprehensive two-semester team-design projects; defining design objectives, developing functional/mechanical criteria, standards, reliability, safety, ethics and professionalism issues. Lecture 2 hours, laboratory 3 hours per week. Corequisite: Lab component. Prerequisite: consent of instructor. Prerequisite: BENG 3723. Pre-or Corequisite: BENG 3733.
-
2.00 Credits
Continuation of BENG 4813. Design concepts for equipment and processes used in biological and agricultural industries. Completion of 2-semester team design projects. Construction, testing, and evaluation of prototypes. Written and oral design reports. Discussion of manufacturing methods, safety, ergonomics, analysis/synthesis/design methods as appropriate for particular design projects. Laboratory/ design 4 hours per week. Prerequisite: BENG 4813.
-
3.00 Credits
Engineering principles involved in assessment and management of surface water flow and hydrologic processes within ecosystems. Includes frequency analysis of rainfall, infiltration, runoff, evapotranspiration. Use of GIS/mathematical models to quantify hydrologic processes at the watershed-landscape scale. Design/implementation of best management practices and ecological engineering principles and processes for advanced ecological services. Lecture 3 hours per week. Prerequisite: CVEG 3213.
-
3.00 Credits
Design of low impact development techniques to enhance ecological services, reduce peak runoff, and capture sediments, nutrients and other pollutants resulting from urban development. Techniques may include: bio-swales, retention basins, and filter strips. Design of sustainable ecological processes for the treatment and utilization of wastes/residues. Techniques may include: direct land application to soils/crops, composting systems, lagoons and constructed wetlands. Design goals include optimization of ecological services to maintain designated uses of land, water and air, including enhancement of habitat for wildlife and recreation, and the discovery of economically viable methods for coexistence of urban and agricultural land uses. Lecture 3 hours per week. Prerequisite: BENG4903.
