Teaching the Environmental Engineering Class

For many years I have given my standard library lecture for ENE 262 taught by Professor Taha Marhaba. I think he sets the record for hearing my lecture the highest number of times since I have been at NJIT. The students are given a choice of assignments. I demonstrate how to use Scifinder Scholar and Scopus to find the information that they need. Below is the list for this semester:

1. Pharmaceutical compounds in source water; assessment, types, solutions.
2. Removal of Endocrine-disturbing Compounds (EDCs) from Water.
3. Nanotechnology for treatment of environmental pollution.
4. Sensors for water supply security.
5. Synthetic organic substances in the air that are of concern to drinking water; sources, types, effects, prevention and removal.
6. Greywater Reuse; requirements, technology, acceptance, regulations
7. Formation and reduction of smog in the atmosphere; chemistry of formation, regulations and treaties, solutions.
8. State of the Art of Landfilling
9. Impact of Various Winter Road Deicing Processes on the Environment
10. Solidification and stabilization of hazardous waste.
11. Disinfection of drinking water; regulations and standards, types and chemistry, advantages/disadvantages, outlook.
