CEE 3670: Transport Phenomena in Bio-Environmental Systems
Undergraduate engineers learn the phenomena that describe the movement of energy and mass in biological and environmental engineering systems. Topics include conductive, convective, and radiative energy transfer, along with diffusive/convective mass transfer. A key part of this class is relating these fundamental transport concepts to observations from everyday life, with many examples from cooking and outdoor activities in Logan.
CEE 6630: Process Dynamics in Environmental Engineering Systems
Graduate students learn the fundamental processes that occur in natural and engineered environmental systems. Key topics include mass balances, small particle dynamics, reaction kinetics, mass transfer, and reactor analysis and design.
CEE 6730: Environmental Chemistry of Organic Contaminants
This course presents a survey of organic contaminants in the environment to public health and environmental engineering students. Students learn how to predict where a chemical goes in the environment using physical/chemical properties and simple models. Transformation processes are also covered to predict the fate of organic contaminants in air, soils, and surface waters.
