COURSE TITLE EFF YEAR EFF TERM DEPARTMENT CREDIT HOURS
EV490 ENVIRON ENG DESIGN 2024 1 Geography and Environmental Engineering 3.5 (BS=0.0, ET=3.0, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
This is the first in a sequence of two courses that comprise the environmental engineering integrative experience. In this senior engineering design course, teams of cadets apply the engineering design process to develop alternative solutions to complex, open-ended environmental engineering problems. In addition, cadets are introduced to techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools required for the engineering design process. The course culminates with a decision brief and report in which teams present a conceptual (35%) design for their recommended solution alternative, as well as their analysis of the engineering, social, economic, and environmental criteria that led them to recommend this course of action. The approved design alternative will be completed the following semester in EV491 Advanced Environmental Engineering Design. *The 3.5CR version of this course is a pilot for AY24-1 and AY25-1 and will be updated on approval by the General Committee in AY25.*
LESSONS: 30 @ 160 min (2.000 Att/wk) LABS: 0 @ 0 min

EV490 ADV ENVIRON ENG DESIGN 2013 2 Geography and Environmental Engineering 3.5 (BS=0.0, ET=3.5, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
This is the final design course for the major in environmental engineering. Cadets experience the complete design experience including defining the project scope, identifying design constraints, comparing alternatives, development of plans and specifications, engineering economics, and project management. The course centers on a senior design project that requires the integration of concepts developed in previous courses. Working in teams, cadets examine projects through the feasibility and concept design phases to evolve and develop concepts that are not only technically feasible, but economically, socially, and politically acceptable. The evaluation of alternatives employs trade-off analysis and the use of multi-attribute decision models. The final product includes a formal oral briefing and written design specifications. In addition to project management, course lectures cover topical coverage of fundamental engineering topics relevant to the problems under study.
LESSONS: 40 @ 55 min (0.000 Att/wk) LABS: 12 @ 55 min
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:
One design problem. Standing as a first class cadet is required for enrollment.

EV490 ADV ENVIRON PROCESS DESIGN 2005 2 Geography and Environmental Engineering 3.5 (BS=0.0, ET=3.5, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
This is the final design course for the major in environmental engineering. It exposes cadets to the complete design experience including project management using the Corps of Engineers model, project cost estimating, work scheduling, risk analysis, and development of plans and specifications. Projects are examined at the feasibility and concept design phases to show evolution and development through the design cycle. Environmental sampling theory based on statistical analysis is introduced as a tool fundamental to the analysis of environmental problems. Two designs are completed during the term. Each requires the production of a solution to a real world problem. A laboratory study is required for one of the projects to develop the data necessary to understand the problems and produce the design criteria. Project teams are developed and work management is a specific task of the team. Oral and written technical presentations of findings and design packages are the final deliverables of this course. This course is intended to develop a cadet's confidence in solving real world environmental problems.
