Student Learning Outcomes
1.   Select or construct appropriate treatment schemes to remove certain pollutants present in water or wastewater.
2.   Design a water or wastewater treatment component.
3.   Balance chemical reactions and use balanced reactions to determine the distribution of species at equilibrium.
4.   Develop a mass balance expression for contaminants under different case scenarios and design a simple system to meet desired needs.
5.   Learn how to characterize source water, and the best available technologies (BAT) for physical and chemical treatment of drinking water.
6.   Learn how to characterize wastewater, and the BAT for physical, chemical and microbiological treatment of wastewater.
7.   Understand selected contemporary global water and wastewater issues such as water shortage, wastewater reuse and emerging contaminants.
