  • CE 647 - Green Engineering and Sustainability


    This class covers the increasingly necessary shift from current industrial system designs toward a more sustainable system based on efficient and effective use of benign materials and energy. The focus is on a green engineering design framework and the key approaches to advancing sustainability through engineering design.  This class will cover sustainability, metrics, general design processes, and challenges to sustainability.  The current approach to design, manufacturing, and disposal will be discussed in the context of examples and case studies from various sectors.  Fundamental engineering design topics that will be addressed include toxicity and benign alternatives, pollution prevention and source reduction, separations and disassembly, material and energy efficiencies and flows, systems analysis, biomimicry, and life cycle design, management, and analysis.

  • CE 653 - Hydrology


    Stresses the quantitative description and the physical basis of hydrology. Both deterministic and stochastic methodology are applied to the analysis of the hydrologic cycle, namely, precipitation, evaporation, overland flow and stream flow, infiltration, and groundwater flow. The use of computer simulation models, especially microcomputer based models, is emphasized. (Y)
