CH 353 - Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Engineers, in their professional lives as well as their private ones, greatly impact our environment, both positively and negatively. In this course, the basic chemistry principles discussed in Chemistry I (CH 200 ) are applied to provide an understanding of the environment, and to explain what effect certain actions have on it. Natural processes in the atmosphere, waterways, and solid waste system are explained, disruptions to the natural systems are chronicled, and then solutions to these disruptions are suggested. Since there are no cut and dried answers to environmental problems, nor are these problems static in their identity or scope, a process of scientific thinking will be stressed throughout the course. (prereq: CH 200  and junior standing)
