Environmental Engineering Design I. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Restrictions: Senior standing. ENE 494 is the first part of a two-semester senior capstone design sequence (EnE494 followed by EnE 495) for Environmental Engineering students. In this course, students work in teams on real-world, client-based projects that require them to integrate knowledge from previous coursework. They will apply environmental engineering principles to solve practical engineering problems, taking into account constraints related to economics, environmental impact, sustainability, social equity, safety, and ethics. The course emphasizes project management, teamwork, client communication, and professional responsibility. By the end of the EnE 494 course, students will have developed a preliminary design for a project, including problem identification, conceptual design, and an initial set of engineering calculations and analyses. Detailed course outline will be produced based on project details.
