ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
|
|
The Environmental Engineering CID of the Gateway coalition is developing a rich variety of "course modules" in selected impact areas that will support environmental education at a wide variety of universities independently of how their programs are organized. "Course modules" are packages of information that can be used to occupy approximately one to two weeks of course time (3 to 6 class periods plus assignments) and can be used to enrich existing environmental courses, can be combined to build new courses, and can be applied in innovative educational approaches such as freshman design team projects. The following "impact areas" were selected for academic year 1995-96:
- Solid and Hazardous Waste
- Water/Wastewater Treatment & Environmental Chemistry
- Air Pollution
- Environmental Hydraulics & Water Resources
The goal of the Environmental Engineering CID is to package educational resources in exciting new ways so they may be shared among Environmental curricula within and beyond the Gateway.

Environmental Engineering Across the Engineering Curriculum
|
| Contact Name: Zikri Ahmed |
Organization: The Cooper Union |
|
|
A compilation of chemical concentration data from several treatment facilities was created. They ranged from local municipalities to industrial plants, namely electrochemical, pharmaceutical, oil, and battery industries. Subsequently, the database was utilized to help solve projects ad homework problems given in class. Essentially, the database is a supplemental tool that engineers can use to whatever purpose the user has in mind. With this realistic set of information, students and teachers alike can better gauge what the engineers must do to safely treat say 100 MGD in less than half a day before discharfing it into a local receiving water. And in making up problems for the students, professors need not think of numerical values that will give �nice� answers. This database will provide a current, updated, and realistic set of data that students/professors can utilize, specifically in a design class.

Environmental Engineering Database
|
| Contact Name: Zikri Ahmed |
Organization: The Cooper Union |
|
|
EPA provides guidelines for waste reduction. It does not provide pollution prevention technology. The environmental awareness and designer skills are the cornerstone for pollution prevention technology. Engineering students should learn the skills in order to become environmentally conscious and to avoid costly training after graduation. The lack of reliable, quantifiable information on environmental fate and health data is an impediment to effective class analysis and strategic design policy. Compilation of such information assists in locating potential trouble spots and provide ideas on how to reduce environmental risks and develop safe design. One of the areas that is of most concern to our daily life represents an interesting module is municipal wastewater. A prototype database system has been constructed from the information contained in the annual survey of municipal wastewater in the New York � New Jersey area. The database module developed spans hundreds of pollutants and can project wastewater emissions in urban and suburban regions. It is therefore a useful guide to safe design. Database modules together with case studies that cover other areas such as chemical, pharmaceutical, electronic, electrochemical and oil industries have also been developed. The objectives of this project is to establish an information sharing database system that can be used by students and teachers to estimate comprehensive profiles of domestic and industrial pollution for regions and urban areas and to provide them with a reliable picture and better understanding of the concept of environmental engineering in more details. It can also provide them with the basic training required to enhance their abilities to implement alternative technology. It is also expected that these developed modules will serve as educational tools for integrating environmental factors into other courses.

Evaluation of the Impact of Multi-Educational Methods in
an EnvironmentalEngineering Class
|
| Contact Name: Constantine Yapijakis |
Organization: The Cooper Union |
|
|
In this present paper, we present a particular implementation to the introductory environmental engineering class and the conclusions from the evaluations through questionnaires in two consecutive years. The specific implementation involved the introduction of biological and physicochemical wastewater treatment units to students through multi-educational methods and their evaluations/opinions regarding their effectiveness. The multi-educational methods included: 1) class lecture, 2) reading textbook, 3) fieldtrip to one of NYC's Water Pollution Control Plants, and 4) virtual fieldtrip with multi-media presentation in CU's Driscoll Auditorium. Additionally, the students' evaluations and opinions about various aspects of the overall class experience (through a more extensive questionnaire) are also presented. Students positively appreciated exposure to different educational methods, regardless of their own personal preferences. Their self-awareness of progress in learning throughout the course was also enhanced. A discussion follows on the benefits of using the results of what was mainly a summative assessment for developing a formative, CQI strategy for environmental engineering at Cooper Union, consistent with ABET 2000 and the educational objectives of the Civil Engineering Department.

GIS Applications in Various Disciplines
with emphasis on Environmental Engineering
|
|
|
|
The software (CD-ROM) selected and purchased, as per the project proposal, for the purpose of immediate implementation of GIS applications in various disciplines, with emphasis on environmental engineering, was the professional ArcView GIS software obtained from ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute), the worldwide leading developer of GIS software. The acquisition of available data is a very important aspect for the use of GIS systems. Typically, it is not feasible or desirable to create an entire map from scratch. In many cases, maps are available from local, state or federal governments. ESRI, publisher of ArcView, publishes a list of www sites using its products to provide geographic information in its quarterly magazine, ESRI ARC News. They also sell a CD-ROM containing every street in the US with geocoded addresses. These are adequate for the purpose of preparing modules/examples of GIS applications in various disciplines. All software was installed and tested in the Gateway Multimedia Room and in various PC�s, including the Gateway computer design center.

This paper was presented at the ASEE 2000 conference (session 3226). The Virtual Soil Mechanics Laboratory is used in conjunction with the introductory undergraduate course in Soil Mechanics, which is required of all students majoring in Civil Engineering at the Cooper Union. Integrating the laboratory Soil Mechanics course with the world wide web has many significant benefits. At the forefront is the ability to improve the students� perception of the material at hand. An on-line laboratory provides students with the capability to perform experimental calculations directly from their home computers using regular browsers. Furthermore, the availability of the Virtual Soil Mechanics Laboratory on the world wide web allows students from all over the world access to Cooper Union�s Virtual Soil Mechanics Laboratory, its manual and procedures.
