CEE 272S: Green House Gas Mitigation (CEE 172S)
This course will introduce the main concepts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions measurement and management, and it will explore the main mitigation options for reducing emissions or sequestering carbon dioxide. It will address technical aspects of GHG mitigation via energy efficiency and demand-side management, energy in high-technology industry, distributed power and co-generation, the role of renewable energy in GHG management, carbon sequestration in forestry, agriculture, and geological formations. The course explores policy options, carbon trading and business strategies for GHG mitigation.

Introduction to wind power resource assessment and project development. Topics include the dynamics of large-scale and small-scale wind systems, vertical scaling of winds in the boundary layer, measurement instruments used for resource assessments, wind turbine technology, and wind farm siting, planning and economics. Analysis methods of wind data, use of industry-standard software for optimizing turbine siting and project feasibility studies. Project work using existing resource assessment from local areas. Prerequisite:
Math41/42 or equivalent. Limited enrollment.
CEE 273C: Introduction to Membrane Technology for Water/Wastewater Treatment
Membrane separation processes focusing on their use for water and wastewater purification. Topics will include membrane types and materials; transport across and rejection by membranes; membrane fouling, cleaning and degradation; and design and operation of membrane systems.
