ENVE 416 - Air Quality Control (3 credits)
Introduction to the physicochemical processes governing the formation, fate, and transport of atmospheric contaminants. Application of governing principles to risk assessment and design of air pollution control technologies. Overview of the regulatory environment governing air pollution. To include a significant computational modeling project. Prerequisite(s): ENVE 312 Spring.

ENVE 417 - Contaminant Hydrogeology (3 credits)
Hydrogeology is the study of fluid flow in the earth’s subsurface. In this course, the concepts, equations and data collection techniques of hydrogeology are combined with the principles of environmental chemistry in order to understand the fate of contaminants in the subsurface and to explain the most commonly employed remediation strategies. The technical content of the course is augmented with an overview of the regulatory structure that governs most soil and groundwater remediation projects. Participants will learn to use a groundwater transport simulation software package and will use the software to complete a significant design project. Prerequisite(s): ENVE 413 Spring.

-
ENVE 418 - Stormwater Treatment (3 credits)
Introduction to stormwater source reduction and water quality management, stormwater routing, traditional stormwater management, and modern stormwater management. Class will include a significant major project, for which time outside of class will be required. Prerequisite(s): ENVE 413 Spring.
|
| |
-
ENVE 419 - Biological Processing (3 credits)
Application of biological processes to designing systems addressing environmentally relevant problems such as advanced water and wastewater treatment and energy conversion. Prerequisite(s): ENVE 350 or BIOL 203 Spring.
|
| |
-
ENVE 420 - Acid Mine Drainage Prevention & Treatment (3 credits)
Introduction to acid mine drainage genesis, prevention, and treatment. Treatment will cover active, passive, and hybrid approaches. Class will include a significant major project in service of industry, government, or the nonprofit sector, for which time outside of class will be required for a field trip and group work. Prerequisite(s): ENVE 411 Spring.
