Curriculum Map
Course: Water Treatment/Water Treatment Plant Design
Description
This curriculum map provides a mapping of content from Water Quality and Treatment, 6th edition, Water Treatment Plant Design, 5th edition, and Handbook of Environmental Engineering Calculations, 2nd edition to standard topics most often included in upper level undergraduate and beginning graduate level courses addressing water treatment and water treatment plant design. The author carefully selected relevant discussions, examples, videos, tables and figures which he felt would be valuable supplements to any water treatment or water plant design textbook. You can easily incorporate the content into your course by using our copy link functionality to paste a direct link into your school's LMS.
