 CEE 161A/264A
Rivers, Streams, and Canals
3-4 units
Time: see axess.stanford.edu

The movement of water through natural and engineered channels, streams, and rivers. Equations and theory (mass, momentum, and energy equations) for steady and unsteady descriptions of the flow. Design of flood-control and canal systems. Flow controls such as weirs and sluice gates; gradually varied flow; Saint-Venant equations and flood waves; and method of characteristics. Open channel flow laboratory experiments: controls such as weirs and gates, gradually varied flow, and waves. Students taking lab section register for 4 units.
Prerequisite: Prerequisites: CEE101B, CEE160.
Note: Fulfills GER:DB-EngrAppSci



 
 CEE 162, 262C
Modeling and Simulation for Civil and Environmental Engineers
3 units
Time: see axess.stanford.edu

Introduction to mathematical and computational methods for modeling and simulation, and the use of Matlab for topics including predator-prey problems, buckling, transport and mixing, wave modeling, flow reactors, and traffic flow. (Fringer)
Prerequisite: CME 102 and CME 104, or equivalents.
Note: Meets GER Disciplinary Breadth: Natural Sciences. Meets in Terman Lab. (Graduate students register for 262C).



 
 CEE 172
Air Quality Management
3 units
Time: see axess.stanford.edu

Quantitative introduction to the engineering methods used to study and seek solutions to current air quality problems. Topics: global atmospheric changes, urban sources of air pollution, indoor air quality problems, design and efficiencies of pollution control devices, and engineering strategies for managing air quality.
Prerequisite: CEE 70, MATH 51
Note: Meets GER:DB-EngrAppSci



 
 CEE 178, 276
Introduction to Human Exposure Analysis
3 units
Time: see axess.stanford.edu

Scientific and engineering issues involved in quantifying human exposure to toxic chemicals in the environment. Pollutant behavior, inhalation exposure, dermal exposure, and assessment tools. Overview of the complexities, uncertainties, and physical, chemical, and biological issues relevant to risk assessment. Lab projects.
Note: MATH 51; Meets GER DB: EngrAppSci; Graduate students register for CEE 276.



 
 CEE 270
Movement and Fate of Organic Contaminants in Waters
3 units
Time: see http://axess.stanford.edu

Transport of chemical constituents in surface and groundwater including advection, dispersion, sorption, interphase mass transfer, and transformation; impacts on water quality. Emphasis is on physicochemical processes and the behavior of hazardous waste contaminants.
Prerequisite: Undergraduate chemistry and calculus.
Note: CEE 101B Mechanics of Fluids.



 
 CEE 274A
Environmental Microbiology I
3 units
Time: see http://axess.stanford.edu

Basics of microbiology and biochemistry. The biochemical and biophysical principles of biochemical reactions, energetics, and mechanisms of energy conservation. Diversity of microbial catabolism, flow of organic matter in nature: the carbon cycle, and biogeochemical cycles. Bacterial physiology, phylogeny, and the ecology of microbes in soil and marine sediments, bacterial adhesion, and biofilm formation. Microbes in the degradation of pollutants.
Prerequisite: CHEM 33 Structure and Reactivity , CHEM 35 Organic Monofunctional Compounds, and BIOSCI 41 Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology, CHEMENG 181 (Formerly 188), or equivalents.
