CEE/EnvE
327 Introductory Environmental Engineering Design |
| |
Focus on environmental engineering process fundamentals.
Topics covered include landfill design, water quality, water
and wastewater treatment, and risk assessment. |

CEE/EnvE
327L Introductory Environmental Engineering Design Lab |
| |
The lab is delivered using 5 experimental modules, and
includes one “active learning” exercise where students are
required to obtain design and operations data from the Rapid
City landfill and subsequently model leachate generation
using the Visual HELP model. The lab and lab reports are
completed in groups, and are used to enhance student
technical writing, teamwork and communication skills |

CEE/EnvE
425/525 Sustainable Engineering |
| |
This course
will serve as an introduction to the emerging field of
sustainable engineering, with focus on understanding
interactions between industrial processes and the
environment. Identification and implementation of strategies
to reduce the environmental impacts of products and
processes associated with industrial systems will be
explored and evaluated using tools such as life cycle
analyses and materials balances. The course will also
explore appropriate sustainable technologies employed within
both developing and first world countries. |

CEE/EnvE
426/526 Environmental Engineering Physical/Chemical Process Design |
| |
Track elective course within CEE and a required course
within EnvE. Course covers theory and design guidelines for
advanced physical and chemical processes employed within the
field of environmental engineering; specifically as related
to drinking water treatment. Lecture topics include new and
innovative processes that are becoming more commonly
employed within the profession, including membrane
filtration, ion exchange, and water reuse. |

CEE/EnvE
426/526L Environmental Engineering Physical/Chemical Process Design
Lab |
| |
Hands on laboratory modules used for demonstrating
physical and chemical processes within environmental
engineering. The laboratory requires individual,
comprehensive laboratory reports to enhance student
technical writing skills, and experiments include abiotic
nitrate reduction using zero-valent iron, competitive
activated carbon adsorption, oxygen transfer, metal
solubility, coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation
principles, and water softening. |

CEE/GeoE
692 Remediation Engineering |
| |
Topics include remediation process fundamentals, biotic
and abiotic insitu remediation case studies, student design
reports and presentations, and laboratory bio-remediation
pilot plant project where students investigate how
bio-remediation of a contaminated gasoline spill occurs
through microorganism amendments |
|
EM 328 Applied
Fluid Mechanics |
| |
Topics include an introduction to the static
and dynamic properties of real and ideal fluids; application of
continuity, energy, and momentum principles to laminar, turbulent,
compressible, and incompressible flows; laminar and turbulent flow
of fluids in closed conduits and open channels; flow through
orifices, weirs, and venturi meters. Flow in pipe networks and
pumping systems investigated using a project team
approach. |
