Courses
Factors influencing the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of surface and ground waters. Unit operations and processes related to water treatment are emphasized.
General topics of interest and relevance to civil & environmental engineering applications. Topics may include subject matter related to transportation engineering, geotechnical engineering, structures design, water resources, fluid mechanics, and/or environmental science and engineering. Laboratory and field exercises may supplement lecture material. Course can be repeated with change of content.
