This course introduces Cadets to the environmental engineering profession to gain an appreciation for the interdisciplinary nature of the field. Fundamentals regarding engineering design are presented and a variety of tools are used to analyze and visualize solutions to environmental challenges. The course provides a platform for the incorporation of required skills students use throughout the rest of their engineering course of study. Cadets solve a series of progressively more complex engineering problems by applying the design process while addressing public health, safety, and welfare. The course introduces a variety of techniques to communicate effectively with a range of audiences as Cadets function effectively on teams and apply new knowledge and learning strategies.
