This course provides a complete foundation in Environmental Engineering and Sustainability, designed for engineering students and professionals interested in sustainable development and environmental protection. It begins with core concepts of sustainability, life cycle thinking, circular economy, and engineering for sustainable systems.
Learners study essential measurement units, mass balance, reactor systems, and transport processes, building the quantitative skills needed in environmental analysis. The course explores ecology, energy flow, population dynamics, biodiversity, and environmental chemistry, connecting engineering principles with natural systems.
Major modules focus on water quantity and water quality, including sedimentation, coagulation, filtration, disinfection, and water supply systems. Students then move to wastewater engineering, covering sewerage systems, BOD and COD concepts, preliminary treatment, activated sludge process, and sludge disposal.
The course also includes solid waste management, from collection and treatment to final disposal, along with air pollution, climate change, global warming, and pollution modeling. Advanced topics include environmental risk assessment, EIA, LCA, and real-world case studies on industrial pollution, disasters, and food waste.
This course is ideal for students preparing for environmental engineering exams and for professionals seeking practical and theoretical knowledge in sustainable environmental systems.
