CEE 250 Environmental Pollution: Energy and Materials Balance (2 cr)
TTh 3:30 - 5:20pm (SLN 11526)
Prereq: MATH 120 (Meets NW requirement)
Professor Michael Brett
This lecture course will introduce students to general concepts of Environmental Engineering and in particular Materials and Energy Balance. These concepts will be presented within the context of local case studies, in particular the severe eutrophication and subsequent recovery of Lake Washington, nitrogen loading and hypoxia/fish kills in Hood Canal, and global climate change and its regional impacts on water resources and hydrologic cycles in the Pacific Northwest. (Note: CEE 250 does not count towards the upper-division requirements of the CEE major.)
This course is particularly useful for students interested in an introduction to environmental engineering, the environment, and/or in the sciences.
