CE 371 : Environmental Science & Engineering
Fundamentals of Global Environmental/Energy Problems
Spring 2012
1. Course Objectives:
 Understand significant environmental/energy problems of 21 C.
 Develop an ability to identify environmental and energy phenomena in air,
water, and soil systems to solve their relevant problems.
 Improve students’ scientific and engineering minds and communication skills to
understand and solve environmental and energy problems.
2. Course Methods:
 Lecture Style
* review previous materials
* learn new materials
* summarize new materials
 Student responsibilities for lecture
* help control pace of class by questions
* review notes before class to make good use initial review time
* be prepared to ask questions about homework assignments in class or
immediately after class
 Homework ground rules
* purpose is to fully understand the concepts of environmental science and
engineering course and to develop skills.
* discussion is encouraged.
* copying is scholastic dishonesty.
* use hand writing for calculation (MS Word and HWP are not highly
recommended).
* homework can be submitted after dead line but there is no assurance that it
will be given full credit (- 15% per every week).
 Consultation
* best before and after class.
* please try to arrange office visit in class or by e-mail or phone.
* chase your instructor after dinner time (may be better option for additional
info.).
