COURSE GOALS:
This course is
designed to teach the civil engineering student the fundamental engineering
design principles of water treatment (physical-chemical treatment), wastewater
treatment (biological treatment), and municipal wastewater collection system
design. Design problems are
incorporated into the course as applications of these principles. Given the tools covered, and the depth at
which they are covered, the student should be able to successfully complete all
calculations required in a facility plan level document.
SUMMARY OF COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Following the successful completion of
this course the student should be able to perform basic calculations associated
with the following topics.
|
Population Projection |
Primary Clarifier Design |
Anaerobic Digester Design |
|
Rapid Mix Design |
Activated Sludge Design |
On-site treatment |
|
Flocculation Design |
Biotower Design |
Collection Systems |
|
Filter Design |
Final Clarifier Design |
|
CONTRIBUTION OF
COURSE TO MEETING THE PROFESSIONAL COMPONENT:
This course provides the student with the necessary
background to perform entry-level design work in environmental engineering.

NOTE: Homework = 1 hour exam!!! DO THE HOMEWORK & DO IT RIGHT!!!
A minimum grade of 50 percent is required in both the
homework and exams if one is to pass the course.
Home Work: Do your own work, however, we learn by
discussion and brainstorming. Homework will be accepted without penalty one
class period past the due date. After
that there will be a 50 % penalty, unless other arrangements are made. If the homework is over a week late, it will
not be accepted. NOTE: If you don’t do the
homework you fail the course! This is
the single most frequent cause of failing this course!
An arithmetic
error in the first part of a problem will not be continually penalized. If you bring in a problem you feel was
graded inappropriately, you will not be subject to losing points in other parts
of the problem. We will only consider
the portions of the problem you wish to bring up.
Final grades will be determined by
converting the total numerical ranking into a letter grade as follows:
|
A+ = 97.5-100 |
B+ = 87.5-85 |
C+ = 77.5-75 |
D = 60-69 |
|
A = 90-97.5 |
B = 80-85 |
C = 75-70 |
F < 60 |
|
A- = 87.5-90 |
B- = 77.5-80 |

If you have or believe you have a
disability, you may wish to self-identify.
You can do so by providing documentation to the Services for Students
with Disabilities (SSD) located at Garcia Annex (Phone: 646-6840). Appropriate accommodations may then be
provided for you.
If you have a condition which may affect
your ability to exit safely from the premises in an emergency or which may
cause an emergency during class, you are encouraged to discuss this in
confidence with the instructor and/or the director of SSD. If you have general questions about the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), call the ADA coordinator at 646-3333.
