This is the first in a sequence of two courses that comprise the environmental
engineering integrative experience. In this senior engineering design course, teams of cadets apply the engineering design process to develop alternative solutions to complex, open-ended environmental engineering problems. In addition, cadets are introduced to techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools required for the engineering design process. The course culminates with a decision brief and report in which teams present a conceptual (35%) design for their recommended solution alternative, as well as their analysis of the engineering, social, economic, and environmental criteria that led them to recommend this course of action. The approved design alternative will be completed the following semester in EV491 Advanced Environmental Engineering Design.

This is the final design course for the major in environmental engineering. Cadets experience the complete design experience including defining the project scope, identifying design constraints, comparing alternatives, development of plans and specifications, engineering economics, and project management. The course centers on a senior design project that requires the integration of concepts developed in previous courses. Working in teams, cadets examine projects through the feasibility and concept design phases to evolve and develop concepts that are not only technically feasible, but economically, socially, and politically acceptable. The evaluation of alternatives employs trade-off analysis and the use of multi-attribute decision models. The final product includes a formal oral briefing and written design specifications. In addition to project management, course lectures cover topical coverage of fundamental engineering topics relevant to the problems under study.

This is the final design course for the major in environmental engineering. It exposes cadets to the complete design experience including project management, work scheduling, and development of plans and specifications. The course centers on a senior design project that requires the employment of concepts in engineering design to produce a 35% product for an actual customer. Working in teams, cadets examine projects through the feasibility and concept design phases to evolve and develop concepts that are not only technically feasible, but economically, socially, and politically acceptable. The evaluation of alternatives employs trade-off analysis and the use of multi-attribute decision models. The final product includes a formal oral briefing and a written feasibility study. In addition to project management, course lectures cover engineering ethics, engineering economics, and topical coverage of fundamental engineering topics relevant to the problems under study. The course concludes with a field data, collection exercise where cadets develop collection protocols and logistical requirements and then execute the data collection plan and results analysis.

This is the final design course for the major in environmental engineering. It exposes cadets to the complete design experience including project management using the Corps of Engineers model, project cost estimating, work scheduling, risk analysis, and development of plans and specifications. Projects are examined at the feasibility and concept design phases to show evolution and development through the design cycle. Environmental sampling theory based on statistical analysis is introduced as a tool fundamental to the analysis of environmental problems. Two designs are completed during the term. Each requires the production of a solution to a real world problem. A laboratory study is required for one of the projects to develop the data necessary to understand the problems and produce the design criteria. Project teams are developed and work management is a specific task of the team. Oral and written technical presentations of findings and design packages are the final deliverables of this course. This course is intended to develop a cadet's confidence in solving real world environmental problems.
