Introduction to the fast-growing field of remote sensing from space. The course covers physical concepts and other aspects of remote sensing including: characteristics of electromagnetic spectrum and remote sensing devices, digital processing methods for interpreting, manipulating and analyzing remotely-sensed image data, and application of satellite imagery to environmental monitoring.
Research carried out and reported under supervision of student's adviser as partial fulfillment of requirements for Master's degree in civil engineering or Master's degree in environmental engineering. May not be taken by those taking CE-ENGIN 679 Engineering Report or CE-ENGIN 699 Master's Thesis.
Chemical equilibrium principles of acids-bases, dissolution-precipitation, oxidation-reduction, and complexation applied to understanding the chemistry of surface waters, groundwaters, and water and wastewater treatment.
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.
