Course description Practical laboratory work in air sampling and analysis, source testing, instrumentation, criteria air pollutants, and dispersion modeling. The class meets for one 170-minute laboratory session per week. Homework assignments are given weekly, typically. There are laboratory reports, and a midterm exam and a final exam are given. 7. Course objectives/student learning outcomes/program outcomes Course objectivesPresent the fundamental concepts of air quality in engineering, as applied to the regulation, analysis, design, modeling, and operation of air pollution control systems. Expose students to atmospheric dispersion modeling tools. Expose students to design considerations for air pollution control systems.Student learning outcomes & relationship to ABET a-k objectivesAbility to understand the fundamental air pollution concepts and regulations necessary to analyze basic civil/environmental engineering problems. (a, b, c, e, f, h, k) Ability to apply simple atmospheric dispersion modeling tools to solve basic civil/environmental engineering problems. (a, b, e, f, h, k) Ability to select and design an appropriate air pollution control system for a given scenario (b, e, f, h, j) Ability to communicate effectively about air quality issues in environmental engineering (d, e, f, g, i)Relationship to program educational objectivesObjective A. Practice environmental engineering within the general areas of water and wastewater, air quality, solid and hazardous waste, groundwater and soil remediation, and sustainability and pollution prevention in the organizations that employ them.H Objective B: Advance their knowledge of environmental engineering, both formally and informally, by engaging in lifelong learning experiences including attainment of professional licensure, and/or graduate studies.HObjective C: Serve as effective professionals, based on strong interpersonal and teamwork skills, an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, and a willingness to take the initiative and seek progressive responsibilities. MObjective D: Participate as leaders in activities that support service to, and/or economic development of, the region, the state and the nation H8. Course evaluation method (note percentages subject to change) Midterm Exam18%Note: The minimum grade required to pass the course is C. Final Exam 27%Laboratory Reports33%Class Assignments, Homework, Discussion Boards17%Class Participation5%Attendance to class is required. You are expected to participate in all class sessions and keep up with the material. You are expected to participate in all class sessions. You are not expected to be a distraction in the class. Final grades will be reduced by one letter for class disruption of lack of participation (as determined by the instructor). Participation in University-approved activities or religious observances, with prior notice, will not be penalized. Keep copies of all quizzes and homework assignments for ABET purposes. Tests are open book, but NOT open notes or homework.9. Course grading scale There are no fixed criteria for the grading scale. The overall performance as related to course objectives and outcomes is evaluated and considered during grading. See the supplementary Course Policies Document for the program guidelines on course grading. 10. Policy on makeup tests, late work, and incompletes Exams will be given only at the scheduled times and places, unless previous arrangements have been made no less than one (1) full week in advance. No one is exempt from exams. Makeups are given only if there is solid evidence of a medical or otherwise serious emergency that prevented the student of participating in the exam. Makeup exams will be administered and proctored by department personnel unless there are other pre-approved arrangements. Late work is not acceptable. Incomplete grades are against the policy of the department. Unless there is solid evidence of medical or otherwise serious emergency situation, incomplete grades will not be given. Note: Incomplete grades are only reserved for those students who were passing but could not complete the required work due to exceptional circumstances. 11. Special course requirements The goal of integrating writing in this course is to improve students ability to produce professional quality engineering reports.

You are responsible for reading all announcements posted by the instructor. Check the announcements each time you login to be sure you have read all of them since your last login session. To communicate within the course through Blackboard, the Ask the Professor discussion board link is the preferred method to contact your instructor. Except for Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, I will respond to messages generally within 48 hours. Asking course related questions in this way allows other participants with the same question to benefit from the responses. Also, make sure you review this forum prior to posting a question; it may have already been asked and answered in previous posts. Such messages should be used to communicate public matters. Only personal or confidential matters should be sent via email to the professor, all others will be ignored. 13. Disability policy statement In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act(ADAAA), students who require reasonable accommodations due to a disability to properly execute coursework must register with Student Accessibility Services (SAS)in Boca Raton, SU 133 (561-297-3880); in Davie, LA 203 (954-236-1222); or in Jupiter, SR 110 (561-799-8585) and follow all SASprocedures. 14. Honor code policy Students at Դɼ are expected to maintain the highest ethical standards. Academic dishonesty is considered a serious breach of these ethical standards, because it interferes with the university mission to provide a high quality education in which no student enjoys unfair advantage over any other. Academic dishonesty is also destructive of the university community, which is grounded in a system of mutual trust and place high value on personal integrity and individual responsibility. Harsh penalties are associated with academic dishonesty.
