EVT577: Wastewater Technology / Faculty of Applied Sciences

This course will interactively engage students cognitively and scientifically in areas of wastewater treatment technology and sludge processing technology. Students will state, write, and explain the fundamental principles behind the various wastewater treatment methods (physical, chemical and biological) and the operation and maintenance of wastewater system. Students will calculate a wide variety of wastewater mathematics encountered in wastewater collection and treatment. The designated lecture session is used to discuss various wastewater treatment
technologies and practices. Lecture sessions employ a mixture of lectures and active learning (self and peer discussions). Students will perform evaluation of wastewater, via standard sampling and preservation procedures, as well as standard analytical techniques and wet chemistry during the practical sessions and will verbally and in writing discuss the results and relationships with peers and facilitator. The outcomes shall be assessed through a variety of tools which include the traditional paper examination, tests, written assignment and oral presentation, laboratory reports and classroom engagement.
