Outline and Purpose of the Course Exercises about specific issues related to environmental facilities are conducted based on engineering principles learned until a junior year. Basic planning and design of water supply and sewage treatment facilities are exercised in the first half of the course. In the remaining of the course, basic planning and design of waste management and methodologies of environmental impact assessment using a construction of a waste incineration facility as a subject are learned and estimation about them are exercised.
Course Goals To understand deeply sequence of procedures to gain solutions for substantial problems of environmental facilities through exercises.
Schedule and Contents Planning and design of environmental facility (1 time)
Current status and issues of municipal water supply and wastewater are introduced. Outline of procedures of planning and design of environmental facilities, and their design criteria are stated. Purposes and how to proceed of the exercises in the course are expressed.

Basic design of water supply and sewage treatment (1 time)
A series of steps of design of water supply and sewage treatment systems (e.g., setting of target area, subjects of design based on characteristics and problems of the area, planning of plot and outline of city, design of water supply and sewage treatment facilities (determinations of areas, types of system, capacity, and location etc.)) are explained. Population prediction and estimation of design of water supply and sewage discharge are exercised.

Basic design of water supply (1 time)
Methodologies to determine placement and volume of water supply facilities are expressed. Exercise of a simple case is conducted, and the design of an existing facility is read. An actual water supply facility is also visited.

Basic design of sewerage system (2 times)
Update status of design of sewerage system, and methodologies to determine placement and capacity of sewage pipe and treatment facility are explained. Exercises of such determinations using a simple case are conducted.

Exercise of design (5 times)
To conduct planning and design about certain cities selected by students. That is, hydrologic and capacity parameters of water purification and sewage treatment facilities are calculated based on goals and subjects set by the students. Exercises are proceeded with discussion when some problems happen. Drawing and reports of the results of the series of the works are prepared. Some works may be simplified or cut for time.

Prediction of waste emission and its basic design (1 time)
To understand the methodologies of prediction of emissions of industrial waste and estimate values of basic parameters of a certain city targeted.

Basic design of a waste incineration facility (2 times)
To understand heat and mass balances through combustion calculation and calculate a basic design based on certain setting conditions.

Environmental Impact Assessment (1 time)
Environmental impact assessment is introduced using a construction of a waste incineration facility as a subject.
Evaluation Methods and Policy Glade is evaluated by reports and presentation.
Course Requirements It is preferable to have knowledge of related courses because their principles and theories are basics in this course. But, such knowledge is not requirement to attend the class.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Instruction will be given by the professors.
Textbooks Textbooks/References No textbook.
Printed materials are distributed in class.
