Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, students should have a basic

understanding of the:

o rationale of why environmental engineering is an important contemporary discipline.

o water pollution, sources of water pollution, water quality standard, water and
wastewater characterization, treatment processes and unit operations.
o sources, impacts and mitigation strategies of air pollution
o the source, type, impact, hierarchy of solid waste management, solid waste disposal
methods including landfill operation and energy recovery options.
o what EIA is and the elements of development projects that need to be addressed by
EIA and environmental impact assessment as a tool for sustainable development.
o importance of environmental considerations in all Engineering endeavors
