Surface Water Quality Modelling
Mass balance and steady state solutions for
point and distributed loadings applied to rivers
and lakes, feed-forward and feedback systems
of reactors, mass transport in incompletely
mixed systems, simple time-variable solutions,
nutrient dynamics in water bodies and
exchange with sediments, and eutrophication

Sustainability Engineering 2
An in-depth understanding of sustainability
and engineering. The concept of sustainability
engineering and engineering’s relationship to
global issues such as limitations on material
and energy resources, pollution and global
warming. Tools that engineers need to assist in
resolving such problems, including design for
environment, servicing, clean technologies and
industrial ecology will be covered.

resource management, cost/benefit analysis
of sustainable technologies, technology and
process assessment and design and
management of sustainable technologies and
processes.
ENV ENG 752 (15 Points)
Risk Assessment
Introduction to risk concepts in an
engineering framework, risk assessment:
statistical, probability and reliability theory
techniques for dealing with uncertainties with
reference to natural (floods, earthquakes)
and environmental hazards and risk for
sustainability. Evaluation and management
approaches for different types of risk.
ENV ENG 753 (15 Points)
Sustainability Engineering Design
The principles of sustainable design, including
design for environment, design for recycling,
design for duration and design for reuse.
Assessment of product design, appropriate
product function, level of quality and life cycle.
Students will be expected to provide input
into effective, efficient and sustainable product
design.
ENV ENG 754 (15 Points)
Sustainability Engineering Seminar
A variety of relevant and current topics
relating to sustainability engineering, including
the impact of information technologies, GM
engineering nanotechnologies and other new
engineering initiatives on society and means
of ensuring that those technologies encourage
sustainability. Students will assess such issues
and discuss the relevance to engineering,
sustainability and future development of
technology and society.
