A continuous period of eight weeks of summer working in the industry to gain exposure and appreciation of the environmental science and engineering profession. On-the-job training can be acquired in one of the specialties of environmental science and engineering. The student is required to write a brief report about his industrial experience. The report should emphasize duties assigned and completed by the student.
This is the first part of the capstone design course. Students form teams to design a system on their own that relates to environmental science and engineering related issues. Students collect all the relevant design information under the guidance of a senior faculty.
This is the second part of the environmental science and engineering capsone design project; a comprehensive design experience through a coherent study of all applicable principles, strategies and methodologies of design; Use of appropriate factors such as alternative designs, economic feasibility and social and environmental impacts.
Water quality regulations and water treatment including turbidity control, hardness reduction, and disinfection; Introduction to wastewater reuse; Wastewater treatment including preliminary, primary, secondary and advanced treatment operations and processes for reuse purpose including case studies.
Integrated municipal solid waste management practices including characterization of municipal solid wastes and modern practices in waste resource recovery, recycling, composting, incineration, and landfill design. Industrial hazardous waste management including regulations, environmental audit, pollution prevention, reduce/recover/recycle concepts, risk assessment, and treatment.
