ASCE, in its Policy Statement on the Role of the Engineering in Sustainable Development defines sustainable development as "the challenge of meeting human needs for natural resources, industrial products, energy, food, transportation, shelter, and effective waste management while conserving and protecting environmental quality and the natural resource base essential for future development." Because engineers "provide the bridge between science and society," ASCE notes that engineers have a key role to play "in planning, designing, building, and ensuring a sustainable future." In this class, a problem-based approach will be used to examine fundamentally-based analyses and approaches for engineering a sustainable society, with a focus on sustainable use of energy and materials, sustainable infrastructure solutions, atmospheric sustainability and sustainable water supply, and human population growth and resource consumption and its implications for sustainability. Examination of fundamental and applied aspects of chemistry, biology, and geochemistry. Fundamental principles will be coupled with analytical and computationalskills essential for addressing crucial processes on human impact on the environment and urban infrastructure. Applications to the development of new materials and technologies will be covered in case studies. Students should come out with an appreciation of how understanding the fundamental concepts could facilitate the development of technologies to mitigate human impact on the environment.Prerequisites: Permission of Department; CHEM 135 Chemistry for EngineersCourse Goals:1. To provide a bridge for students to move from the fundamentals studied in first- and second-year math and basic science courses to introductory and upper level engineering courses, which apply those fundamentals.2. To enhance awareness and to inform engineering decision making related to societal issues, such as energy sources and environmental quality.3. To build an understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of sustainable design.4. To provide students with an understanding of the basic principles and skills related to chemistry and biology (including ecology) that are expected to be common knowledge for an engineer and are necessary for problem solving in thevarious specialty areas of civil engineering. 5. To provide students with sufficient skills and background knowledge in the basic sciences that they can pursue further study and work. Text: Reading assignments will be provided throughout the course. It is recommended that students have access to a General Chemistry book.On-Line Biology Book: http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BioBookTOC.htmlCourse Requirements and Grading Policy:Grading:Dr. TorrentsDr. HaoHomework Problems 0 0 pts2 Midterm Exams (@ 100 each) 100 pts 100 ptsQuizzes 50 pts 50 ptsFinal Exam 200 pts500 ptsTotal Homework:Homework assignments will be available at http://umd.blackboard.com/. The goal of the homework assignments is to encourage you to apply the learned material (e.g., methods, concepts, principles) in problem solving and design and give your practice. You may discuss the homework assignments with other students and are encouraged towork together to understand the concepts and their applications. If you do not understand the material or do not know how to approach the problems, you are encouraged to make use of office hours. The final product will not be collected, nor graded. Solutions to the homework assignments will be placed on the course web page on http://umd.blackboard.com/. You are expected to complete homework on a weekly basis and you are expected to understand the material covered in thehomework. You will be tested in weekly/biweekly quizzes that will be prepared to test your conceptual understanding of class and homework material. If you do the homework and review them by checking the solutions once available, quizzes and exams will be trivial!!.Quizzes:Several short (e.g., 10-15 minute) quizzes will be given throughout the semester (approximately 12 total). The quizzes may or may not be announced in advance. Quizzes will be closed-book and consist of short-answer questions (e.g., definitions, fill-in-the-blank, matching, multiple choice, and problem solving approach), discussion questions, and simple calculations. The goal of these quizzes is to test your knowledge and comprehension of common terms, specific facts, methods and procedures, basic concepts and principles, etc. You may not offer, solicit, or accept any assistance to or from another student.Exams:Exams are announced in advance and held during normally scheduled class periods. Exams will be closed-book and will consist of more involved problems than covered in the quizzes. The goal of exams is part is to test your ability to apply the learned material (e.g., methods, concepts, principles) in problem solving and design. The final exam will be comprehensive and held during the university scheduled time period.Course Outline Lectures Subject Materials1 Introduction: Engineering Challenges for the 21st CenturyWhat do we mean by Sustainable Engineering? www.
