3.00 Credits
Studies related to the evaluation of the impacts of major actions by state and federal agencies on the quality of human environment. Consideration is given to the preparation of impact statements. The impacts of various types of action are discussed; the adverse effects produced and alternatives to proposed action considered, and the tradeoffs between short-term uses and long-term productivity are evaluated. Case studies are presented and analyzed. When Offered: Offered on availability of faculty. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
The course presents important thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of reactions in the atmospheric layer. Consideration is given to transport phenomena in determining atmospheric compositions and kinetics. Applications of principles to upper atmospheric and lower (air pollution) atmospheric cases are discussed. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: CHEM 2250, CHEM 2260 or equivalent or permission of instructor. When Offered: Offered on availability of faculty. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Investigation of atmospheric processes of particular importance in dealing with the environmental problems of air pollution: atmospheric turbulence, temperature lapse rates, wind profiles, plume rise, plume dispersion relations, urban dispersion models, wet and dry atmospheric scavenging processes, and inadvertent climate and weather modification. Open to graduate students in science or engineering. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: ENGR 2050, ENVE 4330 or permission of instructor. When Offered: Offered on availability of faculty. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Occurrence and control of communicable diseases; principles of epidemiology and biostatistics and their application, emphasizing the relationship with environmental factors; food infections and food poisoning; use and impact of pesticides and other methods of pest control; air pollution sources and health effects. Organization of government health agencies. When Offered: Offered on availability of faculty. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
This course concentrates on management issues and study of the fate and transport of hazardous materials in the environment. Management topics are broken down into three broad categories: regulatory issues, those necessary for daily operation of an industrial facility (industrial hygiene, storage, and transportation issues), and preliminary environmental site assessments. Fate and transport issues will be dealt with quantitatively. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of ENVE 6200. The principal topic discussed is the selection of remediation alternatives and waste minimization. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ENVE 6200. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Basic modeling approaches and techniques for the simulation of environmental engineering systems. Model development, system conceptualization and analysis, mathematical representation, solution and simulation, as well as model calibration and verification, are discussed. Problems such as simulation of biochemical reactors and behavior of toxic chemicals in groundwater are drawn from the literature. Ongoing research projects are discussed. When Offered: Spring term alternate years. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
The major approaches to air pollution control are discussed from three viewpoints: equipment for particle and gaseous emissions control, control of specific processes and pollutants, control strategies. Emphasis is on control devices for particles, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides; absorption with chemical reaction; wet scrubber technology. Combination with other approaches to develop control strategies. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ENVE 4330. When Offered: Offered on the 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 include biological treatment, ion exchange, test for total carbon in a solid waste and PARR bomb calorimeter, soil columns, and microbial respirometry. When Offered: Offered on availability of faculty. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture course stresses multidisciplinary approaches to the use of microbial system for biotransformation and biodegradation of toxic and hazardous material. Topics include biodegradability, enzymatic transformations, microbial ecology, and properties of organic and inorganic compounds, in situ and ex situ engineering techniques. Real world design examples and projects are introduced. Permission of instructor is required. Prerequisites/Corequisites: ENVE 4350 or equivalent. When Offered: Spring term. Credit Hours: 3
