printer friendly pageCEE 272T: SmartGrids and Advanced Power Systems Seminar (EE 292T)
A series of seminar and lectures focused on power engineering. Renowned researchers from universities and national labs will deliver bi-weekly seminars on the state of the art of power system engineering. Seminar topics may include: power system analysis and simulation, control and stability, new market mechanisms, computation challenges and solutions, detection and estimation, and the role of communications in the grid. The instructors will cover relevant background materials in the in-between weeks. The seminars are planned to continue throughout the next academic year, so the course may be repeated for credit.

CEE 273C: Environmental Engineering Applications of Membrane Technology
Introduction to membrane technology and processes with applications in R&D, water/wastewater treatment, and renewable energy. Membrane separation principles, reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, membrane characterization techniques, mass transport phenomena, fouling processes, rejection of salts and trace organics, brine disposal system design, energy and cost considerations, and pre- and post-treatment procedures.

CEE 273D: Wastewater Treatment Process Simulators and Their Use for Emerging Technologies
Process simulators are used widely for analysis and design of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities. The current generation of simulators integrates biological, chemical, and physical process models that enable steady-state and dynamic "whole plant" simulation of liquid and solids treatment process performance. This course reinforces the concepts presented in
CEE 271A,
CEE 271B, and
CEE 273 and shows how these concepts are applied to analyze and design treatment systems for BOD removal, energy recovery, phosphorus removal and recovery, and nitrogen removal using BioWin TM 4, a commercially-available software package. A process-specific model for anaerobic treatment of domestic wastewater will also be developed for the new Staged Anaerobic Fluidized Membrane Bioreactor (SAF-MBR) based on the International Water Association (IWA) Anaerobic Digester Model No. 1 (ADM1) and implemented using the simulation software Aquasim.

CEE 274A: Environmental Microbiology I (CHEMENG 174, CHEMENG 274)
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. Prerequisites:

CEE 274B: Microbial Bioenergy Systems (CHEMENG 456)
Introduction to microbial metabolic pathways and to the pathway logic with a special focus on microbial bioenergy systems. The first part of the course emphasizes the metabolic and biochemical principles of pathways, whereas the second part is more specifically directed toward using this knowledge to understand existing systems and to design innovative microbial bioenergy systems for biofuel, biorefinery, and environmental applications. There also is an emphasis on the implications of rerouting of energy and reducing equivalents for the fitness and ecology of the organism. Prerequisites:
CHEMENG 174 or 181 and organic chemistry, or equivalents.

CEE 274D: Pathogens and Disinfection
Introduction to epidemiology, major pathogens and infectious diseases, the immune system, movement and survival of pathogens in the environment, transfer of virulence and antibiotic resistance genes, and pathogen control, with an emphasis on public health engineering measures (disinfection). Prerequisite: 274A.
Last offered: Spring 2015
CEE 274P: Environmental Health Microbiology Lab
Microbiology skills including culture-, microscope-, and molecular-based detection techniques. Focus is on standard and EPA-approved methods to enumerate and isolate organisms used to assess risk of enteric illnesses, such as coliforms, enterococci, and coliphage, in drinking and recreational waters including lakes, streams, and coastal waters. Student project to assess the microbial water quality of a natural water. Limited enrollment; priority to CEE graduate students. An application form must be filed and approved before admission to the class.

CEE 274S: Hopkins Microbiology Course (BIO 274S, BIOHOPK 274, ESS 253S)
(Formerly
GES 274S.) Four-week, intensive. The interplay between molecular, physiological, ecological, evolutionary, and geochemical processes that constitute, cause, and maintain microbial diversity. How to isolate key microorganisms driving marine biological and geochemical diversity, interpret culture-independent molecular characterization of microbial species, and predict causes and consequences. Laboratory component: what constitutes physiological and metabolic microbial diversity; how evolutionary and ecological processes diversify individual cells into physiologically heterogeneous populations; and the principles of interactions between individuals, their population, and other biological entities in a dynamically changing microbial ecosystem.
