Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

This course overviews the wastewater treatment engineering approaches to protecting water quality with an emphasis on fundamental principals. Theory and conceptual design of wastewater treatment processes will be discussed. Lectures cover the advanced wastewater treatment technology processes, small wastewater treatment systems, as indicated in the course syllabus. It covers the development of relevant theoretical concepts up to the point where, in homework and example problems, they can be applied to practical applications. The course delves into design and operation of wastewater treatment processes.
