As part of a class project, 14 undergraduate students, consisting of ChemicalEngineering and Environmental Engineering majors, performed this study during rising (flood)and falling (ebb) tides, and showed the distribution of FIB in flood control channels. While thestudents were exposed to field work and laboratory procedures for the water quality, the resultshave important implications in the design of the diversion systems during dry weather.IntroductionOnce viewed as being a sub-set of civil or chemical engineering, the discipline of environmentalengineering has established a status in its own right worldwide1-3.

In two earlier teachings of the course, the class wassmaller, and included several students from the instructor’s research group. As such, therewas a substantial hands-on / experimental component to the course. In the latest teaching, inFall 2009, the classroom was on the far side of campus from our MRES laboratory, so the labcomponent was limited to one afternoon of explorations. Page 15.870.5 4.
