Units: 3
This course provides an introduction to the field of environmental engineering by examining both environmental processes and environmental systems. Topics addressed include air quality, water quality, solid and hazardous waste, risk assessment, and sustainable technology. The course balances a broad overview of environmental engineering with an in-depth investigation of selected environmental problems and technologies. An emphasis is placed on understanding the fundamental scientific principles that serve as the basis of environmental engineering applications. Methods for quantitative analysis of environmental systems are developed.
