ENGR 538 Introduction to Environmental Engineering
A first course for students interested in environmental engineering. The course discusses air pollution, indoor air quality, and global climate change; emission and control of air pollutants; water supply, quality, and pollution; treatment of drinking water and wastewater; and characterization and management of solid/hazardous waste. The problem-solving techniques based on mass balance, chemical kinetics, environmental microbiology, and energy conversion calculations are rigorously taught for quantitative analysis of environmental problems and their engineering solutions. Open-ended problems will be assigned and a tour to a local environmental engineering facility will be arranged.
