This course continues the discussion of environmental issues introduced in EV300 and builds on that knowledge by defining environmental engineering and studying it from a unit process and materials balance approach. Through the study of water (transport, quality, drinking water treatment, and wastewater treatment); air (transport, quality, and pollutant minimization); and pollutant management (solid and hazardous wastes), the cadet is exposed to the breadth of the environmental discipline. A laboratory experience is integral to the course. In the laboratory, water quality is defined and measures of physical, chemical, and biological quality are both discussed and measured. An introductory design problem is developed through the semester on a relevant topic.
