ENVENG 6400
Transcript Abbreviation:
Int Transport
Course Description:
Fate and transport of pollutants within and between air, water, and soil. Understanding this fate and transport requires an understanding of thermodynamics and mass transfer concepts related to environmental engineering, which is the focus of the first portion of the course. In the second portion, students apply these concepts to develop predictive fate and transport models.
