Courses Taught
CEE 3340 Environmental Engineering
Laboratory
This undergraduate course teaches
theories and applications of environmental laboratory methods for
measurements of fundamental properties and characteristics of dissolved
and particulate constituents in water, air and soil systems.
This
course, with a set of laboratory exercises and corresponding lectures,
is intended to provide undergraduate students with hands-on experience
in laboratory experiments to monitor and evaluate important
environmental processes. Students will have the opportunities to
demonstrate the capability to analyze environmental samples, conduct
laboratory experiments, critically analyze experimental data, and
present the experimental results
CEE 4300 Environmental Engineering Systems
This undergraduate course teaches
environmental engineering issues associated with water, air and land
pollution, including risk assessment, groundwater contamination, global
climate change and sustainable technologies. Course Text: “Introduction
to Environmental Engineering and Science”
by G. M. Masters, 2nd Edition, 1998, Prentice Hall.
CEE 6312 Chemical Principles in Environmental Engineering
This graduate course is designed for students to apply
thermodynamic and chemical equilibrium principles to the processes in
natural waters and in water quality engineering. Topics include
chemical equilibrium and thermodynamics, acid-base chemistry,
coordination chemistry, precipitation and dissolution, redox reactions,
adsorption reactions and chemical equilibrium software. Upon completion
of this course, the students will have demonstrated an understanding of
aquatic chemical reactions and be capable of applying fundamentals and
modeling tools to quantitatively assess chemical speciation in
environmental engineering systems. Course Text: “Water Chemistry”
by Mark. M. Benjamin, 2001, McGraw-Hill.
CEE 6350 Advanced Environmental Chemistry
This is an advanced, graduate course focusing on
examination of processes that affect the behavior and fate of
anthropogenic organic contaminants in aquatic environments. The
lectures begin with intermolecular interactions and thermodynamic
principles governing the organic chemical properties and phase transfers
in the environment. The lectures then introduce mechanisms and kinetics
of some of the important chemical and photochemical transformation
reactions of organic contaminants. From this class, students will learn
to predict chemical properties and to apply the knowledge of chemical
properties and transformation reactions to assess the environmental fate
of organic contaminants. Course Text: “Environmental Organic
Chemistry” by R.P. Schwarzenbach, P. M. Gschwend and D. M. Imboden,
2002, 2nd edition, John Wiley & Sons.
CEE 6319 Environmental Engineering and Science Laboratory
This graduate course, with a set of laboratory exercises and
corresponding lecture discussions, is intended to provide graduate students with
hands-on experiences in laboratory experiments to monitor and evaluate
important environmental processes. Students will have opportunities to
demonstrate the capability to operate a range of analytical instrument,
perform environmental monitoring, conduct laboratory experiments,
critically analyze experimental data, and present the experimental
results to colleagues.
CEE 8095C Environmental
Engineering Water Seminar
This graduate seminar course is focused on advanced research topics in environmental
engineering and science of water systems in surface and subsurface. The
class will address topics that relate to the fate of natural and
anthropogenic contaminants in natural and reclamation environments and
to technologies used to treat contaminants in water and wastewater
treatment processes. The course is specifically designed to provide
opportunities to enhance and refine presentation and discussion skills
in addition to critical-thinking, as well as improve active
participation in critical discussion of technical papers and
presentations.
