Description

This course gives the fundamental background to microbial and environmental processes in the water and soil environment, with specific applications in water and wastewater treatement, hazardous and solid waste, surface water quality modelling, and air pollution.

This course aims to help students develop an interest in environmental engineering and prepare for advanced topics on environmental engineering applications. This course emphasizes fundamental knowledge of wide-ranging environmental processes related to surface water quality modelling, subsurface contaminant transport, wastewater treatment, water treatment, air pollution, and waste management.

Learning Outcomes

Through completing this course you will be able to:
➢ Predict surface water quality and subsurface pollutant transport
➢ Integrate wastewater treatment and water treatment processes
➢ Analyze air pollution problem and explain waste management approach
➢ Expand your capabilities in teamwork, report writing, and presentation as an engineer
