This course will introduce students to water quality engineering, the branch of environmental engineering concerned with the treatment of water and wastewater. We will examine sources of water contaminants, including pathogens and chemical pollutants, and discuss the risks these contaminants pose to human health and the environment. Students will learn about the physical, chemical, and biological processes that govern contaminant fate in natural and engineered water systems. Through inquiry-based laboratories, students will apply analytical techniques for measuring water quality to assess water treatment processes. A collaborative course project will address emerging challenges in water quality and resource recovery.
