• ENS 329: Intro to Geographic Information Systems

  3.00 Credits

  Lincoln University of Pennsylvania

  
  A Geographic Information system (GIS) is unique in that it enables the examination of data which have geographic location as an inherent property. The goal of this course is to introduce students to the basic principles and applications of GIS to manipulate, analyze, visualize and illustrate geographic (spatial) data. Student will use a GIS software product ArcGIS l0.x (ESRI, Inc.) to reveal relationships, trends and patterns that are not apparent in written or tabular format. Analysis with a GIS generates answers for simple to complex questions such as: where is the best location for a new development?; which residents would be impacted by a change in local zoning?; and where has the incidence of Lyme disease increased over time? The culmination of the course is the presentation of an original research project employing the methods learned.

• ENS 420: Water Resources Engineering

  3.00 Credits

  Lincoln University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course is a study of the engineering principles involved in analyzing and managing the quantity and quality of water in natural and developed systems. It examines how to achieve acceptable standards of water quality by studying the principal unit processes in drinking water treatment, municipal wastewater treatment, and other pollution control strategies. This will include the scientific basis of each unit process, as well as the conventional approach to their engineering design. By reviewing the variety of raw water qualities commonly found, and the prevailing drink water quality standards that must be complied with, the course will highlight and detail the typical configurations of unit processes used in the US. In the area of wastewater treatment the course will provide an understanding of the kinetic theory of biological growth and apply it to typical aerobic and anaerobic processes, and an appreciation of the purpose and practice of sludge treatment.

• ENS 422: Geotechnical Engineering

  3.00 Credits

  Lincoln University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course is designed to introduce the basic concepts of geotechnical engineering (soil/rock mechanics and foundation engineering), to solve certain fundamental problems related to consolidation and shear strength. Soil mechanics consists of the study of soil properties and soil behavior, whereas foundation engineering is the design of foundations on soils and rock. Focus of this course will be on geological formations of natural soils, soil sampling, classification, water influence, effective stress estimation, shear strength, and the estimation of settlement. Concepts of earth pressure and slope stability, analysis and design of shallow foundations are covered to familiarize students with relevant terms and soil tests so that they can work effectively with specialists in geotechnical engineering.

• ENS 424: Solid & Hazardous Waste Management

  3.00 Credits

  Lincoln University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course covers the principles of integrated solid waste management. Provides an overview of municipal solid waste (MSW), industrial waste and hazardous waste management, including design and economic analysis. Covers the planning and engineering principles needed to address the growing and increasingly intricate problem of controlling and processing the refuse (solid waste) created by urban societies. Discusses options such as landfilling, composting and incineration from engineering, social, and regulatory perspectives. Reviews physical, chemical, and biological treatment of hazardous waste. Federal regulations, permitting and public participation processes and innovative management practices associated with solid and hazardous waste are also covered. Situations dealing with real world settings are covered through worked examples and field trips to solid waste management facilities.

• ENS 426: Air Pollution and Control

  3.00 Credits

  Lincoln University of Pennsylvania

  
  Air pollution degrades the environment and impacts human health, agriculture and climate. Investigating the sources and effects of air pollution requires a multi-disciplinary approach. This course aims to provide a working knowledge of basic air quality issues. Emphasis is given to principles underlying our understanding of ambient air pollution, its sources, its effects, and mechanisms for its management.
