This course provides an introduction to the science and engineering of environmental issues and problems, with the main goal being the protection of the health and well being of humans and their surroundings. Topics may include an examination of human-induced environmental problems, and the role of technology in dealing with these; the scientific aspects of environmental engineering which are used to quantify and qualify environmental problems; and the technological control of environmental problems. Health and safety issues relating to human and ecosystem exposure to environmental contaminants are emphasized, and local and global examples of environmental problems and solutions are used.
