BIOE 434: Ecological Engineering

Course

Description

This course covers principles of ecological engineering design for integration into society and the environment for benefit of both. The principles are followed by the applications of ecological engineering to treat wastewaters, and to restore ecosystems. Some of the major technologies covered are treatment wetlands, land application, phytoremediation, stormwater BMPs, and stream restoration. Students will be able to integrate knowledge of engineering, mathematics, ecology and biology to solve complex environmental problems that arise from interaction of human with their environment. These solutions will be environmentally friendly, socially acceptable and economically feasible for sustainability. Lectures are complemented by discussions, case studies, presentations, videos, assignments, and problem solving. Prerequisites: CAEE 362. (F;S)
