ENVE 464 Environmental Engineering Project Design I Credits: (0-1) 1
Students in this course will undertake a design effort integrating principles from prior coursework into completion of an overall project that will require both individual and team efforts. This first design course will concentrate on the design problems, preliminary design with investigation of various options, and screening of the various design options prior to undertaking detailed design. Economic and legal constraints, general social considerations and personnel factors will be considered along with the technical aspects of the design. Both oral and written engineering reports delineating project activities and results will be completed.
Prerequisites: Senior standing.
