Undergraduate Environmental Engineering Laboratory

该项目的目标是通过增加对环境处理系统的理论、设计和建模的重视来改善本科环境工程教育。这导致了环境工程领域的必修课程和实验练习的增加。购买的主要设备包括总有机碳分析仪、分光光度计、电泳装置和几个物理和化学单元工艺（活性炭柱、砂过滤装置、沉淀池/柱）。这些分析和工艺设备用于实验室环境，教导学生水/废水表征的重要性。强化每个单元过程背后的理论，并介绍实验室处理研究在设计和操作全尺寸物理、化学和生物水/废水处理系统中的作用。

The goal of the project is the improvement of the undergraduate environmental engineering education through an increased emphasis on the theory, design and modeling of environmental treatment systems. This results in an increase of required course work and laboratory exercises in the environmental engineering area. Major pieces of equipment purchased include total organic carbon analyzer, spectrophotometer, electrophoresis unit, and several physical and chemical unit processes (activated carbon column, sand filtration apparatus, settling tank/column) The analytical and process equipment are used in a laboratory setting to teach students the importance of water/wastewater characterization, reinforce the theory behind each unit process, and introduce the role of laboratory treatment studies in design and operation of full-scale physical, chemical, and biological water/wastewater treatment systems.
