Course Assessment Method
1. Assignments and Oral Quizzes (15%)
2. Mid-Semester Examination (25%)- 1 Hour
3. End Semester Examination (60%)- 2 Hour
Course Objective
1. To impart fundamental training and knowledge about this coveted field of engineering & sciences for
students of other disciplines as well (like Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, Petro-Chemical,Architecture
etc.)
2. To develop basic understanding about the pollution control measures for water, air and land coupled with
application in the industry of any nature.
3. To provide students an in-depth importance and understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological
processes involved in the treatment of water, wastewater, air pollution control and disposal of solid wastes.
4. To develop a basic foundation for higher studies and research in both basic and applied environmental
disciplines and provides a direct transition to the post-graduate engineering programmes.

Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, it is expected that students will be able to:
1. Differentiate between environmental sciences and engineering
2. Address the importance of the environment in general and may apply fundamental concepts of
Environmental Engineering & Sciences in any field of their career.
3. Capable to face challenges and apply their knowledge in the areas of infrastructure development schemes,
industry, and environmental remediation.
4. Hands-on basic design procedure, field studies, and trips provide an understanding of the problems at
hand and thus make them capable to undertake any relevant task independently or as a team.
