RE:                   Changes in Undergraduate Level Course CE 456

 

The faculty of the School of Civil Engineering has approved the following changes in the title and description of an undergraduate level course.  This action is now submitted to the Engineering Faculty with a recommendation for approval.

 

From:                CE 456            Wastewater Treatment

                        Sem. 1. Class 3, cr. 3

                        Prerequisites: C E 352, C E 353. Authorized equivalent courses or                                                consent of instructor may be used in satisfying course pre-requisites.

 

                        Fundamental concepts and design procedures for the treatment of                                                municipal and industrial wastewaters. Problem assessment; determination of                                   effluent quality, preliminary treatment; biological, physical, and chemical                                treatment methods; and utilization and disposal of residues. Field trips                                              required.

 

To:                   CE 456            Water and Wastewater Treatment

                        Sem. 1. Class 3, cr. 3

                        Prerequisites: C E 352, C E 353. Authorized equivalent courses or                                                consent of instructor may be used in satisfying course pre-requisites.

 

                        Fundamental concepts and design procedures for the treatment of                                                municipal and industrial water and wastewaters. Problem assessment;                                            determination of water and wastewater characteristics, biological,                                         physical, and chemical treatment methods, process design, and                                                       disposal of residues.

 

Reason:           The proposed changes in the title and description reflect a broader coverage of                             the topic.  Inclusion of water treatment in this course is needed to better                                          prepare our undergraduate engineering students for civil engineering practice.
