ENV 4562C. Environmental Engineering Systems Design

Purpose: This course serves as a capstone course for Environmental Engineering. The primary propose of the course is to develop a systems design for a water treatment plant. A secondary but significant purpose of the course is to address diversity issues in environmental engineering design. The technical portion of the course consists of laboratories and lectures that are scheduled on consecutive Mondays and Wednesdays throughout the semester. Diversity issues are covered in the course by establishing design criteria that is applicable to different countries and devoting specific lecture topics to diversity issues as affected by race, religion and sex.

Evaluation: The final course grade will be determined by increments that make up the systems design report. Late component reports will be penalized 25 % for one class day, 50 % for two class days and not accepted after that. Each student will turn in a individual component and final reports. Students will work in groups to establish design criteria based on international drinking water regulations. Each component will be graded on technical correctness, writing skills, presentation, organization and neatness.
