printer friendly pageCEE 70Q: Water, Public Health, and Engineering (NEW)
Linkages between water, wastewater and public health, with an emphasis on engineering interventions. Topics covered include the history of water and wastewater infrastructure development in the US and Europe; evolution of epidemiological approaches for water-related health challenges; biological and chemical contaminants in water and wastewater and their management; and current trends and challenges in access to water and sanitation around the world. By the end of the spring quarter, students will be able to identify ways in which freshwater contributes to human health; understand exposure routes for water- and sanitation-illness; classify these illnesses by pathogen type and their geographic distribution; identify the health and economic consequences of water- and sanitation-related illnesses; discuss the costs and benefits of curative and preventative interventions; and interpret data related to epidemiological concepts. For sophomores only. No previous experience in engineering is required.
