CE 563 Environmental Engineering Fundamentals Basic physical, chemical, and biological concepts and the applications to the protection of the environment with emphasis on techniques used in water and wastewater treatment.
CE565 Water and Wastewater Engineering Theory and conceptual design of systems for treating municipal wastewater and drinking water are discussed, as well as reactor theory, process kinetics, and models.
CE 861 Environmental Engineering Chemistry This course will cover chemical kinetics and equilibria, acid-base chemistry, complex formation, precipitation and dissolution processes, and applications to the analysis of environmental engineering problems.
CE 867Advanced Environmental Microbiology and Techniques This class provides a general introduction to the diverse roles of microorganisms in natural and artificial environments, and their engineering applications. It will cover topics including fundamentals of microbiology, microbial growth & metabolism, microbiology of engineered environmental systems, and laboratory techniques relevant to environmental microbiology.
CE 868 Chemicals in the Environment: Fate and Transport This upper level course is designed to give students an understanding of processes that govern the behavior of both hazardous and naturally-occurring substances in the environment. Students will gain a fundamental understanding on mass transport (such as advection, dispersion, and diffusion), surface and groundwater hydrology, physical/chemical/biological degradation processes, and air pollution modeling. Phase equilibrium and partitioning in environmental systems will be discussed as well as interphase mass transfer and modeling.
