Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

The paper builds on the introduction to engineering design taught in ENGEN180. This paper covers mass balances around reactors, biological systems and separation processes used by environmental engineers in process design to address environmental problems and challenges such as water and waste water treatment, stormwater management, solid waste management, air pollution and control. Students will be taught CAD tools for block flow diagrams, process flow diagrams, process and instrumentation diagrams, and batch and continuous process modelling using software tools. The students will apply these techniques to solve an environmental engineering design problem.

The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1­-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/ (https://www.ieagreements.org/)
