Annotation -
This course prepares students for professional careers in the remediation of contaminated sites. The curriculum systematically develops the skills required to design, evaluate, and manage remediation processes within the subsurface environment. Students will be introduced to both conventional approaches (pump-and-treat, soil vapor extraction, bioremediation, monitored natural attenuation) and advanced technologies (in situ chemical oxidation/reduction, thermal desorption, permeable reactive barriers). Furthermore, they will learn to critically evaluate and apply these methodologies to real-world subsurface contamination scenarios. Strong emphasis is placed on bridging theoretical concepts with engineering practice, fostering teamwork, and developing professional communication skills.

Learning outcomes -

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • Analyze site characterization data from contaminated environments to identify constraints and rate-limiting factors for remediation.
  • Develop a remedial conceptual site model for a specific location by selecting the most appropriate remediation technology (or a combined treatment train—based) on efficacy and feasibility.
  • Design and size the core technological parameters of remedial systems using applied engineering calculations.
  • Critically evaluate and benchmark various technological alternatives in terms of economic costs, projected timeframes, and overall environmental footprints.
  • Collaborate effectively within teams to solve complex, real-world remediation case studies.
  • Defend selected engineering solutions through rigorous technical argumentation.
