Objectives:

This course is designed to:

  1. Apply and refine previously learned design process skills (EGR186/286/386).
  2. Teach fundamental concepts of mass transfer and corresponding unit operations.
  3. Integrate fundamental and advanced concepts of environmental engineering (CENE150/280/280L/330/332/334) and regulations (CENE150/332/440) with design concepts and engineering economics in order to complete multi-leveled projects that are indicative of problems facing practicing engineers.
  4. Provide additional computer tools available to environmental professionals and apply them to problem solving situations.
  5. Develop excellence in team dynamics.
  6. Prepare students for the final capstone design course, CENE486.
