-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: graduate standing or permission of instructor. Physical and chemical processes for drinking water, ground water and industrial water treatment. Processes discussed include coagulation/flocculation, gravity separation, filtration, disinfection, adsorption, advanced oxidation, and phase transfer (e.g., air stripping). (Sp even years)
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: senior or graduate standing or permission of instructor. An introduction to the political, legal, and administrative aspects of environmental management. A study of the processes involved in environmental policy development and promulgation. Overview of major environmental laws and regulations. (F)
-
7.00 Credits
Prerequisite: senior or graduate standing. A comprehensive field-based examination of wetland science, ecology, and management. Major wetland types and resources are examined and the biogeochemical and ecological diversity of wetland waters, soils, vegetation and fauna is investigated. Biological, physical, chemical, and hydrological aspects of wetland ecosystem structure and function are explored through visits to several field sites. Current issues in wetland valuation, classification, management and identification are considered as well as the evaluation of created, restored and constructed wetlands. Laboratory (Su)
-
8.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 4114 or permission of instructor. Solubility, partitioning, and sorption of organic compounds in aqueous systems; linear free energy relationships; natural organic matter chemistry and characterization; environmentally pertient hydrolysis, oxidation, and reduction reactions; disinfection reactions; and aqueous photochemistry. (Sp)
-
0.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 3403 and 3884. May be repeated once with change of content. Asphalt cement, cutbacks, emulsions, testing procedures and grading; aggregate properties, blending; asphalt concrete mix design (Marshall, Hveen and Superpave); MHA construction; HMA pavement performances; special asphalt mixes; recent developments. Laboratory (Sp)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 3364. Understanding geology in engineering design and mitigation: topics include weathering and soil-forming processes; engineering properties of rock; landslides and debris flow (slope stability); fluvial processes and hazards; land subsidence; expansive soil; hazard, risk and land-use planning. (Sp)
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: graduate standing in Environmental Science. Examines applied environmental biology; biological consequences of environmental impacts; mitigation of environmental impacts via biogeochemical, ecological and microbial processes. No student may earn credit for both 4324 and 5324. Laboratory (F)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 3364, Mathematics 3113. Advanced treatment of theories and principles of shearing strength, stress distribution and settlement analysis. (F)
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 3364 or permission of instructor. Review of basic concepts (single- and multi-degree of freedom system, wave propagation, behavior of dynamically loaded soils), liquefaction, vibrations of footings on elastic half space, analog models, dynamics of pile foundations, machine foundations, design of foundations for dynamic loads including earthquake loading. (Irreg.)
-
6.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Senior or graduate standing. Defined as the design of sustainable ecosystems that integrate human society with its natural environment for the benefit of both. It is distinct from both environmental engineer and ecology and uses a systems perspective based on the premise that sustainable solutions require working with natural ecological and biogeochemical process and not against them. Ecologically engineered systems are designed to require less fossil fuel input, produce less pollution and represent cost-effective alternatives to traditional energy-and resource-intensive technologies.
