Environmental Remediation and Control EFA

Engineers regularly provide expertise in dealing with environmental contamination and potential releases of pollutants. This EFA concerns issues of predicting the fate, transport, and control of pollutants in natural and engineered systems. The courses recommended provide students with a broad overview of environmental engineering problems, especially in water and wastewater pollutant management.

This EFA is offered within the Environmental Sub track of CEE and therefore requires Environmental Engineering Design (53:157) which counts as a design course. It also requires Environmental Chemistry, Air Pollution Control and Technology and Environmental Microbiology. The Remediation & Control EFA consists of an additional 21 semester hours (SH) of courses as listed in the table below.
