Geo-Environmental Engineering (same as EID437)

Geoenvironmental engineering is an interdisciplinary field combining geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, hydraulics/hydrology, and groundwater engineering. This course focuses on the design and performance of technologies used in waste containment, subsurface pollution control, and site remediation. The course covers the basic physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of natural and engineered geoenvironmental materials, behavior of these materials in response to environmental stresses, principles of subsurface contaminant fate and transport, and geotechnical and environmental aspects of waste containment and remediation.

Same as EID437.

Prerequisites: ESC 340, CE 331, CE 344, and permission of instructor

Credits: 3.00

Course Code: CE 437

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
