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
-
3.00 Credits
Classification and characteristics of solid and hazardous wastes; appropriate waste management systems; design of collection and transfer systems; methods of destruction and disposal, including landfills; recycle methods; and salvage and conversion operations for resource recovery. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of industrial wastes. Application of unit operations and processes to the treatment of waste streams. Consideration of recovery and/or recycling of useful products. When Offered: Offered on availability of faculty. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides environmental engineers, researchers, managers, public officials, and corporate executives with a firm foundation in the environmental laws and regulations with which and under which they must work. Classroom lectures and discussions generate papers on selected environmental law topics. When Offered: Offered on availability of faculty. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
The design and operation of different laboratory experiments to provide experience for the environmental engineer in the practical application of chemical and biological theory. Design parameters are developed via bench scale testing. Topics can include biological treatment, phytoremediation, composting of solid waste and soil columns, and microbial respirometry. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Physical processes governing occurrence and distribution of precipitation, infiltration, evaporation, and surface water runoff. Groundwater hydrology, mechanics of flow, and well hydraulics. Statistical hydrology, unit hydrograph theory, and watershed modeling. Floodplain hydrology and open channel hydraulics. Urban hydrology, hydraulics and design of storm sewers, and design of detention structures for flood control.
