-
3.00 Credits
Individual research or special problem projects supervised by a faculty member, also, when a student and instructor agree on a subject matter, content, and credit hours. Prerequisite: "Independent Study" form must be completed and submitted to the Colorado School of Mines Undergraduate Bulletin 2008-2009 77 Registrar. Variable credit; 1 to 6 credit hours. Repeatable for credit under different titles.
-
3.00 Credits
Biological and ecological principles discussed and industrial examples of their use given. Analysis of ecosystem processes, such as erosion, succession, and how these processes relate to engineering activities, including engineering design and plant operation. Criteria and performance standards analyzed for facility siting, pollution control, and mitigation of impacts. North American ecosystems analyzed. Concepts of forestry, range, and wildlife management integrated as they apply to all of the above. Three to four weekend trips will be arranged during the semester. 3 lecture hours, 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the morphological, biochemical and biophysical properties of cells and their significance in the life processes. Prerequisite: General Biology I, or equivalent. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Processes by which natural and anthropogenic chemicals interact, react and are transformed and redistributed in various environmental compartments. Air, soil and aqueous (fresh and saline surface and groundwaters) environments are covered, along with specialized environments such as waste treatment facilities and the upper atmosphere. Prerequisites: SYGN101, DCGN209, CHGN222. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
This course describes the environmental behavior of inorganic and organic chemicals in multimedia environments, including water, air, sediment and biota. Sources and characteristics of contaminants in the environment are discussed as broad categories, with some specific examples from various industries. Attention is focused on the persistence, reactivity, and partitioning behavior of contaminants in environmental media. Both steady and unsteady state multimedia environmental models are developed and applied to contaminated sites. The principles of contaminant transport in surface water, groundwater and air are also introduced. The course provides students with the conceptual basis and mathematical tools for predicting the behavior of contaminants in the environment. Prerequisite: EGGN353 or consent of instructor. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
The goal of this course is to familiarize students with the fundamental phenomena involved in wastewater treatment processes (theory) and the engineering approaches used in designing such processes (design). This course will focus on the physical, chemical and biological processes applied to liquid wastes of municipal origin. Treatment objectives will be discussed as the driving force for wastewater treatment. Prerequisite: ESGN353 or consent of instructor. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Water supply availability and quality. Theory and design of conventional potable water treatment and processes. Design of distribution systems. Also includes regulatory analysis under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Prerequisite: EGGN353 or consent of instructor. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction and overview of the engineering aspects of solid and hazardous waste management. The focus is on control technologies for solid wastes from common municipal and industrial sources and the end-of-pipe waste streams and process residuals that are generated in some key industries. Prerequisite: EGGN354. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
A critical examination of the experiments, calculations and assumptions underpinning numerical and narrative standards contained in federal and state environmental regulations. Top-down investigations of the historical development of selected regulatory guidelines and permitting procedures. Student directed design of improved regulations. Prerequisite: EGGN353. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
This course describes the engineering principles and practices associated with the characterization and remediation of contaminated sites. Methods for site characterization and risk assessment will be highlighted while the emphasis will be on remedial action screening processes and technology principles and conceptual design. Common isolation and containment and in-situ and ex-situ treatment technology will be covered. Computerized decision-support tools will be used and case studies will be presented. Prerequisites: EGGN353, EGGN354 or consent of instructor. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
