Engineering 390 - ADVANCED TOPICS IN ENGINEERING

Clean freshwater is an essential resource for both ecosystem and societal health. Increasing chemical and microbiological contamination of this limited resource is a growing concern around the world. Engineering principles can be employed to remove contaminants from water to make it safe for use. This course is designed to introduce students to the principles of water quality engineering such as rate processes, reactor design and chemical/physical removal mechanisms. Students learn about priority and emerging contaminants in water, conventional methods of water treatment, and alternatives to conventional methods using advanced or emerging treatment technologies. Prerequisites CHM 111 and EGR 290 or permission of the instructor.

Topic: Water Quality Engineering. Not open to first-years, sophomores
