Building on the fundamentals developed in 12-221, 12-351, and 12-353, students learn the fundamentals of design for physical, chemical, and biological processes used for pollution control, multi-phase transport, and transformation processes.

Specific topics include unit analysis of physical, chemical, and biological processes; environmental hydraulics; water quality modeling; and water and waste treatment theory, analysis, and design. Also covered are system design challenges and opportunities around climate change, sustainability, and life-cycle assessment.
