Undergraduate Courses
- CEGR 3141 Introduction to Environmental Engineering
- Junior level required undergraduate course. The topics cover introduction to environmental regulations, drinking water and wastewater treatment, air pollution control, stream ecology, and solid, radioactive and hazardous waste management. I typically teach this class online during the Summer semester.
- CEGR 4242 Wastewater Treatment Design
- Upper level undergraduate/graduate elective for the civil engineering degree and a required course for the environmental engineering degree. It is a design-focused class discussing physical, chemical and biological treatment of wastewater. The student groups work on a real-world design problem with the help of professional engineers who provide team mentoring and report/presentation/design feedback. The students are also introduced to BioWin process modeling software, which makes them better outfitted for modern wastewater design jobs. Taught every spring.

- CEGR 6090/8090 Environmental Organic Chemistry
- Graduate level elective. The course covers concepts of organic chemistry necessary to predict the fate of organic contaminants in various environmental compartments (water, air, soil, biota, etc.). Taught every two years in the fall.
- CEGR 6090/8090 Advanced Water Treatment and Water Reuse
- Graduate level elective. The class focuses on advanced treatment processes that are used for removal of specific contaminants and in potable water reuse. The processes covered are air stripping, activated carbon adsorption, ion exchange and advanced oxidation processes. Basics of water reuse are also discussed. Taught every two years in the fall.
