AE 6560 - Water Reuse Design

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course will explore the expanding field of water reuse systems.  Both centralized and decentralized systems will be studied.  The full range of non-potable reuse, indirect potable reuse, and direct potable reuse will be explored.  Students will be expected to design a water reuse system for either a centralized or decentralized scenario.  Lectures will focus on water treatment technologies as they are typically applied to water reuse systems.  (prereq: graduate standing)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Identify the socio-economic factors that lead to water reuse
  • Analyze water quality needs and match those needs with appropriate water treatment technologies
  • Evaluate alternative technologies and treatment scenarios for a water reuse system based on local, economic, and technological factors
  • Design a water reuse treatment system for use in a realistic situation
  • Present a design report to alleviate typical fears associated with water reuse systems
