Following the format of previous editions, the fifth edition of Introduction to Environ¬mental Engineering is designed for use in an introductory sophomore-level environmen¬tal engineering course with sufficient depth to allow its use in more advanced courses. We assume that the book will be used in one of the first environmental engineering courses encountered by the student. As such, it pro…
Education in environmental engineering and science has historically been conducted at the graduate level, and up to the present time has drawn mainly on students with a civil engineering background. In general, education in civil engineering does not prepare a student well in chemistry and biology. Since a knowledge of these sciences is vital to the environmental engineer, the graduate program …
