Wastewater treatment

This course teaches the important concepts and fundamental principles of wastewater systems (including wastewater contaminants, characteristics, estimation of wastewater flows, and preliminary and primary treatment systems), biological and other treatment processes, and treatment and disposal of bio-solids. 

Course objectives

On successful completion of this course you should be able to:

• Research and access relevant engineering resources and recent developments in managing and

treating wastewater.

• Evaluate information regarding managing and treating wastewater sustainability.

• Explain and understand the technological processes used to manage and treat wastewater and

the socioeconomic factors that influence it.

• Discuss the implications of and outcomes from inappropriate application of engineering

principles in managing and treating waste water.

• Design a possible solution to a wastewater management and treatment problem or illustrate

how engineering may be causing the problem.
