ENGR 1900 - INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABLE WATER TECHNOLOGY & DESIGN


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
In this course, students will be introduced to the complex and global interactions that make up the human-water interface and learn to design for water applications. Beginning with the physical/chemical and biological significance of water, this course will analyze the development of water technologies within their historical, cultural and geopolitical contexts. This introduction will serve as the foundation for quantitatively evaluating: 1) the present day water challenges that face communities, cities, and nations & 2) the state-of-the-art technologies currently deployed to manage these needs. The second half of the course will be used to explore innovative examples, examine current water research and technology and work on a course project in which students will have the opportunity to create and design sustainable methods and technologies to meet local and or global water challenges.
