Description

Project-based design for treatment of contaminated media. Could include treatment of wastewaters, landfill design, or remediation of contaminated soils. Laboratories, field trips.

The course will be taught through lectures, tutorials, and laboratory exercises. Do the reading
before lecture and come to class prepared to participate in discussion, rather than just
passively taking notes. I encourage you to collaborate with classmates on assignments,
including discussing the solution approach and checking final answers, but you should not
just copy someone else’s work nor allow them to copy yours.

Learning Outcomes

This course will introduce topics in the civil/environmental engineering area of potable
water treatment. Successful students will demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental
physical, chemical, and biological processes used in potable water treatment, and understand
regulations pertinent to potable water treatment.
