Teaching
CE 3025 Environmental Engineering (Lecture & Lab)
Mass balance principles applied to engineered pollution control, including water and wastewater treatment. Introduction to environmental regulation and risk assessment, water characteristics and routine environmental lab methods, pollutant mass transport and water quality analyses in natural systems
Wastewater treatment facility (WLSSD) tour with CE 3025 students
CE 5541 Water Chemistry
Water is critical component of environmental systems, and the chemistry that occurs in water is a rich subject. This class focuses on water chemistry in both natural and engineered systems. Topics covered include acids and bases, titrations, the carbonate system, solubility of minerals, metal ion complexation, oxidation/reduction chemistry, and chemistry in water treatment, nutrient cycling, organic matter, and organic pollutants. Both chemical equilibrium and chemical kinetics are explored. Students will be introduced to software that can be used to solve water chemistry problems.
CE 4246/5246 Environmental Remediation Technologies
This course will discuss the principal, applications and limitations of technologies designed for removal of contaminants from soil, groundwater, and surface water. Topics include introduction and characteristics of hazardous waste and contaminant, factors controlling mass transport, partitioning and fate of contaminants, fate and transport Modeling – MODFLOW and MT3D or RT3D, site characterization/assessment/regulatory requirement, design and operation of current remediation technologies, emerging remediation technologies, and source control.
