CEE 211A - Environmental Physical-Chemical Processes (Fall)
Nelson
Prerequisites: 111 or equivalent and course work in aquatic chemistry, or consent of instructor.
Fundamental concepts of physical-chemical processes that affect water quality in natural and engineered environmental systems. Focus is on developing a qualitative understanding of mechanisms as well as quantitative tools to describe, predict, and control the behavior of physical-chemical processes. Topics include reactor hydraulics and reaction kinetics, gas transfer, adsorption, particle characteristics, flocculation, gravitational separations, filtration, membranes, and disinfection.

I really enjoyed this class, though it's very technical, with lots of challenging problem sets and exams. You will quickly realize that this class used to be "Wastewater Treatment Engineering", and it hasn't moved that far from its roots. If that's what you want, you'll like it.
Professor Nelson is a truly excellent teacher.
A word of warning: When I took it (Fall 04) it started very slow, making you believe it was going to be quite simple: this was not the case!
I took this for a few weeks, thinking I could figure out the engineering as needed. Not so. I left while I still had some of my ass intact.
