Environmental Quality Engineering

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

Introduction to engineering aspects of environmental quality control. Quality parameters, criteria, and standards for water and wastewater. Elementary analysis pertaining to the modeling of pollutant reactions in natural systems, and introduction to design of unit processes for wastewater treatment.

Prerequisites MATH 2930 and ENGRD 2510.

Exploratory Studies (CU-SBY)

Last 4 Terms Offered 2025SP, 2024SP, 2023SP, 2022SP

Outcomes

• Students learn how the kinetics and equilibria of chemical and biologically mediated reactions coupled with an understanding of physical transport processes relate to the formulation of models that predict contaminant fate in aquatic systems as well as the effect of contaminants on those systems.
• Students also learn how the kinetics and equilibria of chemical and biologically mediated reactions coupled with an understanding of physical transport processes result in the formulation of models that allow rational design of wastewater treatment systems.
