Three lectures. Fall (Cr.3)
Prerequisite:
CHEM
101.
Chemistry:
Equation balancing. Calculation
of chemical constituents. pH
of water. Basic physics principles: Gas laws. Fluid flow principles.
Mass balance. Elementary
calculus: Differentiation of

Course
Goals:
-
To
understand and analyze basic environmental problem. Emphasis is placed on understanding basic environmental
concepts as they relate to water and to review, in less detail,
problems and solutions in other environmental areas.
Course
Objectives:
The
student will be able to
-
To
develop student's ability to understand basic concepts and to identify
and solve environmental problems with emphasis being placed on water
and to review to a lesser degree other areas of the environment.
-
To
develop student's recognition of the need and availability to engage
in life-long learning in the environmental arena.
-
To
develop a student's working knowledge of mathematics, science, and
engineering science in environmental engineering.
-
To
develop a student's ability to analyze and interpret environmentally
related data.
-
To
develop student's computer utilization ability in the environmental
area.
-
To
develop an awareness of health and safety needs.
-
To
develop to a lesser extent the student's writing and reporting skills.
-
To
provide students with a knowledge of contemporary environmental
issues, the understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
associated with maintaining the environment, and a comprehension of
the impact of engineering solutions in a global environmental context.
