CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Introduction to water treatment and water pollution and the analysis and design of selected treatment processes. Credit Hours-3.
COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the completion of this course you will be able to apply fundamental civil-environmental engineering principles and perform fundamental calculations for designing water treatment (physical-chemical treatment) and wastewater treatment (physical and biological treatment) systems. Design problems are incorporated into the course to demonstrate application of these principles and to create opportunities for you to comprehend conventional treatment alternatives by analyzing design parameters and criteria. The depth to which the topics are covered will develop the comprehension and analytical skills required to successfully complete the design analysis and documentation for a facility preliminary engineering report as typically performed by a professional consulting engineering firm. The course will build on knowledge acquired in CE 256, Environmental Science and CE 231, Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, and will develop new skills which are specifically applicable to EnvE 456, Environmental Engineering Design, or generally applicable to any of the department’s capstone design classes.
