Course Handout (Part II)
Date: 02/08/2017
In addition to part-I (General Handout for all courses appended to the timetable) this portion gives further
specific details regarding the course.
Course No. : CEF 323
Course Title : Introduction to Environmental Engineering
Instructor-in-charge : ANUPAM SINGHAL
1. Course Description:
In this course, the fundamental concepts involved in several aspects of origin and pollution control pertaining
to Air Quality, Water Quality, Solid Waste, & Noise; global pollution problems such as Ozone depletion,
Global warming, & Acid rain will be discussed. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a powerful tool
used in the site selection of an industry/project, where the basic knowledge about all the aspects mentioned
above is essential. The principles and applications of EIA will be addressed through several case studies.
2. Scope and Objective of the Course:
With rapid industrialization and diversified ranges of human activities in pursuit of their day-to-day needs,
the pollution problems are on the rise and are assuming enormous significance in bringing about various
environmental changes. In this course, the pollution problems with respect to water quality, air quality, solid
waste, & other related aspects are addressed and the fundamentals involved in each of the above areas will be
discussed. The Environmental Impact Assessment, which is a legislative tool to control pollution from waste
generators will be discussed along with several case studies. The course focuses on a multi – disciplinary
approach in understanding the principles in the subject for applying to real life problems.
