This course will provide students with knowledge of important environmental engineering concepts and related fundamental chemistry and physics principles that govern different water and air quality problems the strategies implemented to control them or manage their effects and the common analytical techniques that can be used to study them. Students are expected to be present a balanced perspective on water and air pollution science by covering: chemical kinetics, reaction dynamics, transformation processes, environmental reactor models, transport phenomena, photochemistry, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chromatography.

To pass a course, a student must do ALL of the following:

1) obtain at least 30% of the total marks allocated towards coursework (combination of assignments, pop quizzes, term paper, lab reports and/ or quiz, if applicable);

2) obtain at least 30% of the total marks allocated towards final examination (if applicable); and

3) meet the criteria listed in the section on Assessment Rubrics.
