Environmental Engineering

Specific Outcomes 1) The curriculum has prepared graduates to apply knowledge of mathematics through differential equations, probability and statistics, calculus-based physics, chemistry (including stoichiometry, equilibrium, and kinetics) 2) The curriculum has prepared graduates to apply knowledge of earth science, a biological science, fluid mechanics 3) The curriculum must prepare graduates to formulate material and energy balances, and analyze the fate and transport of substances in and between air, water and soil phases 4) Design environmental engineering systems that include considerations of risk, uncertainty, sustainability, life-cycle principles, and environmental impacts; and apply

related regulations; see above. A proficiency with at least one hazard identification procedureProcess hazard identification involves identifying hazards from engineering documents. Thisconcept should be addressed in the design course, as it is very process focused. There are avariety of tools for hazard identification; most incorporate risk assessment as part of the review.The “what-if” and “checklist” methodologies are adequate for providing a basic understanding ofhow events can lead to toxic material release, fire or explosion. Ideally, a piping andinstrumentation diagram (P&ID) and process flow diagram (PFD) of an actual process should beused for the analysis. Material and energy balances should be performed using the PFD toconfirm
