This course is designed to enhance the knowledge base and analytical skills of engineering graduate students whose major interests are in geotechnical engineering and civil infrastructure materials. It can also be a selective for graduate students from geology (geosciences) and soil sciences. Major topics include the fundamentals of clay mineralogy, the mechanical and engineering properties of clay minerals, and a suite of micro/nano characterization techniques for clay minerals and other fine-grained geomaterials.

Transport of fluids and constituents in environmental systems. Advection, diffusion, dispersion, zero and first-order reaction kinetics and equilibrium partitioning processes. Mathematical models solved with analytical and numerical methods. Multi-scale application to surface and subsurface waters and the atmosphere.

Introduction to municipal solid waste management and hazardous waste management. The relationship between the properties of wastes, the techniques and hardware used for waste handling and processing and the ultimate disposal (containment) of waste and other residual materials will be emphasized. Remediation of contaminated areas is also covered. The design of systems for the management and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes subject to economic factors, safety, reliability and ethical and social implications will be examined.

Fundamentals of soil behavior, soil mineralogy and structure, soil stresses, stress-strain-strength behavior of cohesionless and cohesive soils, consolidation behavior of saturated soils, and determination of consolidation and strength parameters in practice. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 320.

Evaluation and control of water quality in streams, lakes, and estuaries. Mathematical analyses of patterns of water movement and their relation to water quality. Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) allocation design.

The major biological phenomena and processes used in environmental engineering. Fundamentals of microbiology and biochemistry as applied to wastewater treatment, bioremediation drinking water treatment, and biological air pollution control.
