CEE 8813 (Special topics): Microbiome Engineering for Environmental Applications
This graduate level course will introduce students to the theory and tools of the emerging field of microbiome engineering and its application within the field of environmental engineering. The course will be divided into three sections. The first section of the course will focus on the design principles for top down and bottom-up microbial community assembly. The second section of the course will cover experimental and computational approaches to design microbial communities with a focus on quantifying and stabilizing microbial interactions. The final section of the course will cover current applications and future opportunities for microbiome engineering in drinking water treatment and distribution, wastewater treatment, resource recovery from waste, bioremediation, and biosensing.

CEE 6331: Biological Processes
Biological Processes utilize various reactor design configurations and operational strategies to harness naturally available microbial processes to treat water. The design of biological processes revolves around the careful manipulation of microbial physiology and ecology, subject to the principles of mass and energy balance at the cellular level. This class will cover the fundamental biochemical principles that inform biological process design and operations and their applications in wastewater treatment, resource recovery, bioenergy production, and drinking water treatment.

CIVE7225: Environmental Physical/Chemical Processes
This course examines the processes of physical and chemical phenomena related to water quality and water treatment within environmental engineering. The fundamental theory, mathematical description, and applied knowledge of these processes are used to characterize water quality in natural systems (lakes, rivers) and to predict performance in engineered systems (water treatment). A mass balance and reaction kinetics approach will be used to derive analysis and design equations for water treatment unit operations. Physical and chemical processes to be covered include reaction kinetics, flow regimes, dissolved solute removal, particulate removal, phase transfer processes, and redox processes. Laboratory demonstrations are included. A basic knowledge of water quality, environmental chemistry, and differential equations is required.
