Environmental Engineering Design

Catalog description

Capstone engineering design course for Environmental Engineering. The course will involve introducing students to environmental contamination scenarios, developing responses to that scenario, e.g., developing methods to assess the extent of the problem, to designing actual remediation or mitigation strategies to address the problem. Coursework relies on laboratory measurements, computer modeling or both. Emphasis on conducting realistic assessments of the threat to human and ecological receptors, including learning about any relevant regulations, an evaluation of strategies to minimize negative impacts, and consideration of both the costs and timescales needed for implementing alternatives. Prerequisites: ENGN 0490 , ENGN 0720 , ENGN 0810 .
