5 b) COURSE DESCRIPTION CORE COURSES: Solid & Hazardous Waste Management The course aims to provide an overview of solid and hazardous waste management. Upon completion, the course enables the student to have the basic understanding of waste management and awareness of the importance of proper solid and hazardous waste management and the associated environmental problems that arise from poor management and disposal of such waste. The course includes sources, generation and characteristics of industrial and municipal wastes, analysis of collection systems, handling and disposal practices of municipal wastes, significance of industrial wastes as environmental pollutants, pollution prevention and techniques for processing, treatment and disposal of industrial wastes. Management and Sustainability This course introduces students to issues of environmental management. The course includes discussion on the fundamental of environmental cycle, concept of sustainability, environmental consequences of coastal and inland developments. At the end of the course, students should be able to apply the knowledge by associating environmental problem that arise with poor management of environmental sensitive area. The students should be able to work in a team to demonstrate the project development practices related to the environmental enhancement. Water Pollution Control This course introduces students to the conventional water and domestic wastewater treatment systems. The content is designed to enable students to understand the processes that are involved in treating water and domestic wastewater. Students will be introduced to characterization of water and wastewater based on basic water quality parameters. This is followed by water treatment processes which include coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. Topics on domestic wastewater treatment includes suspended growth processes i.e. activated sludge, oxidation pond, aerated lagoon and bio film process i.e. bio filter. Students will be given the basic concept of each process and its conceptual design and analysis. ELECTIVE COURSES Air Resources This course provides students to a perspective on the field of air pollution control engineering, which is a branch of environmental engineering. The students will be exposed to the application of the basic principles of science and engineering to solving the issues associated with the air pollution control. In particular, it emphasizes on the key elements of basic theory in pollution control techniques. Quality Analysis This course is designed to expose and train the students to analytical principal and method for analyzing environmental quality. Topics discussed include the theory and practical approaches of the analytical tools based on biological, chemical and physical properties and methods. Such quality parameters are BOD, COD, TOC, DO, metals constituents, inorganic and organic impurities in air and water samples. Methods based on biological tools are also introduced to the students. Among instrumentations and spectrometer and spectronic. The students are also required to do some works in laboratory.

It tackles problems involving water pollution and its impacts on the environment and legislation. Water quality monitoring projects carried out by students will enable application of proper sampling and monitoring methods. At the end of the course students will then be able to assess water quality problems and plan mitigation and control measures for water pollution. Physico-Chemical Treatment Processes This course emphasizes on physic-chemical processes of water and wastewater treatment. The content is tailored to enable students to understand, analyze and apply essential theories and principles in removing various types of contaminant from water and wastewater using physicchemical processes. Students will be introduced to process fundamentals which include thermodynamics and kinetics of reaction, mass balance concept and reactor analysis. Processes that will be discussed include aeration and air stripping, chemical oxidation, disinfection, chemical precipitation, coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, carbon adsorption, ion exchange and membrane processes. Students will be given the basic concept of each process, its applications, advantages and weaknesses. The conceptual design and analysis will be explained in detail. Biological Treatment Processes The course is designed to expose students to biological treatment processes in engineered wastewater system. It covers major wastewater engineering aspects such as process analysis and design, treatment technologies, modeling and membrane bioreactor. It will also demonstrate a typical calculation, design and analysis common biological treatment processes. At the end of the course, students should be able to incorporate and utilize technology in the design of operational unit of wastewater engineering. Laws & Institution This course is designed to equip students with the philosophy, knowledge and mechanism of resource and environmental law. Aspects included are the development of law governing resource and environment; sources of environmental law; principles and techniques of resources and environmental law; regulatory bodies for resources and environment; common law approach to environmental; historical context of environmental law in Malaysia; components and mechanism of Quality Act 1974; future challenges of environmental law.
