Sustainable Environmental Technology for Remediation and Resources Recovery

Catalog description

Course considers sustainable technologies for environmental remediation, treatment, and resources and energy recovery. It will include municipal water treatment methods that are also applicable to remediation of municipal water, groundwater, storm water, industrial and agricultural wastewater and other water sources, as well as green technologies for storm water management and reuse, sustainable and low carbon energy and resource conversions, and other technologies relevant to environmental processes. Student teams create a design for a selected technology that solves a problem and meets the regulatory requirements for a client. The capstone design projects are provided by the instructor or by industrial partners and may vary depending on the instructor. Design teams are advised by a faculty member and engineering practitioners. Integrates project design with further development of student communications skills; students present the design to practicing engineers and interested parties such as community groups.
