Content

Transforming waste to valuable resources is increasingly important to circular economy design and engineering practice. Through industry-related projects students will evaluate and design systems for the management of municipal and industrial solid waste, hazardous waste and consider industrial liquid waste management. It is part of a series of units looking at pollution and waste management within the environmental engineering program. Students will develop a waste management plan and develop designs for a solid waste management system, such as a biogas landfill or composting system. Through this process of design and evaluation, students will learn leading practices, innovative technologies and engineering systems for avoiding and reusing waste and recovering valuable materials, nutrients and energy.
