TBDCourse Objective
In this course, students learn to design water and wastewater transport and treatment systems. The course will cover the full cycle of water as it is removed from a source and treated to meet Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Standards, then distributed into the community for use, collected as wastewater after use and finally treated before discharge back to the source. Four design projects, once for each stage of this cycle, will be one of the primary learning activities of the course.

Professional Component
This course addresses the following EC 2000 professional component requirements;
· an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
· an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs
· an ability to function on interdisciplinary teams
· an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
· an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
· an ability to communicate effectively (written)
· a knowledge of contemporary issues
· an ability to use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
Relationship to Program Objectives
Aside from the objectives in Professional Component, this course:
- helps prepare students for the FEE exam in hydraulic and environmental engineering areas
- prepares students for water and wastewater design issues in the capstone senior design course
- is a key course in our environmental engineering proficiency area
- equips students with design skills useful in their professional practice and marketplace
