ECI 140A: Environmental Analysis of Aqueous Systems<\/h3>

This course focuses on applying chemical and microbiological principles to aqueous systems in both the natural environment and in engineered infrastructure. The course will introduce wet chemical, microbial water quality and instrumental techniques commonly used in the examination of water and wastewater and associated data analysis. The course takes a learn-by-doing approach for both laboratory and field experiments. The focus in the lab section will be on conducting experiments relevant to water quality.\u00a0 Offered Fall quarter.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

ECI 289A: Environmental Health Engineering<\/h3>

Human health and the environment are inextricably linked.\u00a0This course focuses on identifying, evaluating, and\u00a0addressing\u00a0environmental\u00a0factors\u00a0that\u00a0impact\u00a0public health. Students will learn processes of hazard identification, exposure and dose-response\u00a0assessments, and risk characterization\u00a0to perform quantitative microbial risk assessments.\u00a0Environmental exposures to and risks from\u00a0harmful\u00a0chemicals will also be addressed, though the primary focus is microbial risk assessment. Offered Winter or Spring quarter.<\/p>

NOTE:\u00a0<\/strong>ECI289A is a placeholder course number used for all of my graduate course classes until changed through university processes. Therefore, ECI 289A will have different content each quarter offered.<\/p>

Past Courses Offered<\/h3>

ECI 289A\/ABT 198: A Path to Zero Waste.<\/strong>\u00a0Global demand for water,\u00a0energy, and food continues to increase, while many available resources remain\u00a0finite. Modern and innovative approaches to waste management consider\u00a0environmental impacts and opportunities to recover energy, water, and\u00a0nutrients. We will study the landscape of modern solid waste management and\u00a0consider pathways to more sustainable waste management strategies. Students\u00a0will perform client-centered design challenges. Offered in partnership with the UC Davis Engineering Student Design Center.<\/p>

ECI 289A: Alternative Water and Waste Management.<\/strong>\u00a0This course will introduce alternative water and wastewater management strategies needed
when traditional means and methods are inadequate. A series of guest speakers will describe innovative engineering strategies being implemented to address challenging environmental conditions and opportunities in sustainability. Students will engage in discussion with practitioners, experts and peer researchers and take several field trips to local sites. Field trips include stormwater management ffacilities, a solid waste landfill, and food waste management facilities.\u00a0<\/p>

ECI 289A: Synergies between Environmental Engineering and Water Policy.\u00a0<\/strong>This course provides practical experience and build skills in applying engineering critical thinking to environmental-policy problems. The course will also challenge the student to consider how to best account for real-world constraints\u2014including political constraints, regulatory constraints, and constraints imposed by public understanding and opinion\u2014in environmental engineering research. Particular emphasis will be placed on policy problems and research questions related to water quality, availability, treatment, and reuse.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
