Courses
Courses primarily for undergraduates:
(1-0) Cr. 1. F.
Integration of first-year students into the Environmental Engineering program. Assignments and activities involve personal and leadership skill development, teamwork, academic planning and career readiness. Completed both individually and in learning teams under the direction of instructors and peer mentors.
(Cross-listed with C E). Cr. 2. Repeatable, maximum of 4 times.
Prereq: Permission of instructor
Introduction to research, focusing on sub-disciplines of civil and environmental engineering. Research questions, hypotheses, literature reviews, experimental design, data collection, data analysis, and presentation. Topics chosen to introduce students to water resources, environmental engineering, transportation engineering, geotechnical/materials engineering, or structural engineering.
Repeatable but only two credits may count toward graduation in C E
(2-2) Cr. 3. F.
Prereq: C E 190
Introduction to environmental monitoring, environmental field and laboratory sampling, sample preservation and chain of custody, quality assurance and quality control, measurements of common chemical and biological components in different media, and analysis of environmental quality in natural and engineered systems. Concentrations and material balances concepts as applied to environmental engineering. Laboratory testing and experiments.
Cr. R. Repeatable. SS.
Prereq: Permission of department and Engineering Career Services
