  1. Physics Chemistry Engineering Biology Environmental Engineering is Truly Interdisciplinary

  2. Mission Statement of the Environmental Engineering Area: "It is our belief that protection of the environment is possible in industrialized societies if we pursue the intelligent use of chemicals along with waste prevention, recycling, improved treatment processes and environmentally safe disposal methods. Environmental Engineering specializes in these technologies".

  3. Environmental Engineering Undergraduate Courses CE 350 Environmental Engineering Introduction to water treatment, water pollution, air pollution, solid wastes, radiological health, noise, and development of environmental impact statements. CE 352 Biological Principles of Environmental Engineering Introduction and application of modern microbiological concepts to the solution of problems of water pollution and its control. CE 353 Physico-Chemical Principles of Environmental Engineering This course presents basic physico-chemical aspects of air, water, and wastewater pollution, and pollution control methods. Topics covered in the course include: acid/base chemistry, solubility, colloidal chemistry, sorption processes, and oxidation-reduction. Selected physico-chemical processes and analytical procedures are discussed, demonstrated and applied in the laboratory.

  4. Environmental Engineering Undergraduate Courses CE 456/597z Wastewater & Residual Treatment Fundamental concepts and design procedures for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewaters. Problem assessment; determination of effluent quality; preliminary treatment; biological, physical, and chemical treatment methods; and utilization/disposal of residues. CE 457 Air Pollution and Design Fundamental concepts and design procedures for the removal of particulates and gases for water gas streams. Problem assessment; characterization of exhaust gas streams; fan characteristics. CE 355 Engineering Environmental Sustainability Global scale material and energy flows and impacts on ecosystems. CHM 257 Organic Chemistry
