The objective is to help engineering students recognize and understand the importance of cost factors that are inherent in all engineering decisions. Development of ability to handle engineering problems that involve economic factors. The course includes economic environment, selections in present economy, value analysis, critical path economy, interest and money-time relationships, depreciation and valuation, capital financing and budgeting, basic methods for undertaking economic studies, risk, uncertainty and sensitivity, selections between alternatives, fixed, increment, and sunk costs, the effects of income taxes in economic studies, replacement studies, minimum cost formulas, economic studies of public projects, economic studies in public utilities. Effects of inflation are considered at each step. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and ENGR 4750. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Investigates business-related considerations in successfully commercializing new technology in a new venture or within an existing enterprise: market and customer analysis, beating the competition, planning and managing for profitability, high-tech marketing and sales, and business partnerships and acquisitions. Not a general management course; focuses explicitly on what is relevant for engineers and scientists working in a commercial environment. For junior/senior undergraduate or graduate students.
-
3.00 Credits
Active participation in a semester-long project, under the supervision of a faculty adviser. A Professional Project often serves as a culminating experience for a Professional Master's program but, with departmental or school approval, can be used to fulfill other program requirements. With approval, students may register for more than one Professional Project. Professional Projects must result in documentation established by each department or school, but are not submitted to the Graduate School and are not archived in the library. Grades of A, B, C, or F are assigned by the faculty adviser at the end of the semester. If not completed on time, a formal Incomplete grade may be assigned by the faculty adviser, listing the work remaining to be completed and the time limit for completing this work.

4.00 Credits
The application of basic principles and equations dealing with water, air, and solid and hazardous wastes; material and energy balances; and chemical and biochemical cycles. Topics include water resources, water quality and pollution, air quality and pollution, solid and hazardous wastes, and environmental legislation. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Corequisite: MATH 2400. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Credit Hours: 1 to 3
-
4.00 Credits
Fundamentals of aqueous chemistry as applied to the evolution of natural waters. The course covers principles of chemical equilibrium, activity models for solutes, pH as a master variable, concentration and Eh-pH diagrams, mineral solubility, aqueous complexes, ion exchange, and stable isotopes. The carbonate system, weathering reactions, and acid rain are examined in detail. Emphasis is on the chemical reactions that control surface and groundwater evolution in natural and engineered (treatment process) settings. Students learn theory, computation methods, and the use of computer programs for calculation of speciation and mass balance. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: permission of the instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Cross Listed: Cross-listed as CHEM 4690 and ERTH 4690. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and either CHEM 4690 or ERTH 4690. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
A laboratory course on experimental analysis of natural and engineered environmental processes. Emphasis is placed on planning of experiments, data evaluation, and report writing. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ENVE 2110 or permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
3.00 Credits
The design of equipment, processes, and systems of interest in environmental engineering through application of scientific, technological and economic principles. Emphasis is placed on problem formulation and conceptual, analytical and decision aspects of open-ended design situations. Students will integrate knowledge and skills gained in previous and concurrent courses, and learn research techniques to find and use resources from the technical literature. Health and safety issues are presented. Professional development topics are presented including professional ethics and registration. This is a writing intensive course. Students will develop communication skills through proposal preparation, report writing, oral presentation. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ENVE 2110 and senior standing. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
