Environmental Engineering Fundamentals


Description

Basic mechanisms of chemistry, biology, and physics relevant to environmental engineering processes. Principles of equilibrium reactions and kinetics, mass transfer and material balances, microbial growth and kinetics, water, energy, and nutrient cycles. Applications to environmental engineering systems as biological degradation, mass and energy movement through the environment, and design of water and wastewater treatment systems. Prerequisites: CHEM 103 and CHEM 105.

Learning Outcomes

Utilize multidisciplinary approaches such as chemistry, biology, and material balances to provide solutions to environmental problems
Develop basic laboratory skills in the environmental engineering practice
Identify key control technology for water and wastewater treatment, solid waste management and air quality control
Develop simple pollutant transport and fate models
