Principles of ecological engineering, ecosystem biogeochemical dynamics, toxicology, stormwater and non-point source pollution control, sub-surface contaminant transport.
Ecological Engineering is a core 15-point course in the second semester of second professional for natural resources engineering students only. It builds directly on prerequisite material in ENCN 281, Environmental Engineering, and advances the environmental science principles inherently used in Ecological Engineering applications. This course will involve applied ecology, biogeochemistry, maths, physics, hydrology and some design and decision-making. It aims to develop students’ analytical and practical skills in managing common environmental engineering challenges including storm-water treatment, wetland design, water sampling, low-tech waste treatment, and contaminant fate and transport. Relevant design guidelines and environmental tools will be introduced with appropriate examples.
Advance your knowledge on how to use environmental science and engineering design principles in solving topical environmental problems.Understand the fundamental biogeochemical principles affecting behaviour of contaminants.Understand and apply accredited environmental monitoring protocols required in environmental engineering practice.Introduce soil and groundwater contamination concepts and problems.
