| Course description |
This course presents a broad introduction to Environmental Engineering. Particular emphasis is given to environmental impact assessment and pollution in air and water systems. Case studies are employed to illustrate key issues and an Enviromental Impact Assessment is conducted. Also included is a introduction to U.K. urban drainage design practice. The basic theory required to develop designs is addressed, and a design project is carried out using the WinDES computer software. |
