        Course Description
	




 
 




The objectives of this class are to introduce students to the
analytical, experimental, and process engineering techniques that are
utilized to support environmental engineering decisions. Specifically,
we will examine the principles behind analytical and experimental
procedures, the importance of quality assurance and quality control, how
and why to critically evaluate data and perform data validation, examine
techniques to characterize the precision and accuracy of data, develop
"optimal" sampling and analytical procedures for specific projects, how
to conduct pilot-plant or bench-scale treatability studies, and examine
the management of environmental data generated in the laboratory or
field. When you finish this course you will have an understanding and
the basic capabilities to serve as a process engineer in water and
wastewater treatment evaluations.













	
		Course Content
	




 
 




The class will consist of lectures, laboratory procedures, and
fieldwork. Lecture material will typically be presented on Tuesdays and
laboratory experiments will be conducted on Thursdays (note in the
schedule there are some deviations from this plan); the schedule is
provided on the attached page. There is no text for this class but many
handouts that have been collected from many public sources of
information (e.g. USEPA documents). I would recommend that you organize
the handouts in a loose-leaf notebook.
