This course aims to advance students' abilities in applying and evaluating the physico-chemical treatment processes for industrial wastewater pollution control, air pollution, and contaminated groundwater remediation, as well as to expose the student to other less frequent pollution sources, such as noise pollution.
To gain an understanding of strategies, legal requirements and appropriate technologies for industrial pollution control.To teach the process design of selected treatment technologies.To promote the solution of open-ended, multi-disciplinary problems typically found in industrial settings.To explain principles of physical/chemical/biological treatment processesTo apply such knowledge to perform engineering calculations for simple systemsTo promote in the students the ability to recognize problematic situations in which further information is needed to identify, evaluate and draw conclusions from all pertinent sources of information to find an appropriate solution to the problem.To encourage understanding from the students on accepted methods that deals with uncertainty (such as safety factors) and to learn about its advantages, limitations and applicability, evaluating the potential risks and managing the physical risks in complex engineering problems.To promote the concept of Kaitiakitanga and understand each engineer’s role as stewards of the environment.
