Graduate Studies
The Drinking Water Research Group is pleased to invite inquiries concerning graduate studies leading to M.Eng., M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. Students entering into our graduate program have tremendous potential to work with many of the leaders in the industry through participation in ongoing projects sponsored by organizations such as the American Water Works Research Foundation. In addition, students may also participate in projects with our drinking water utility and industrial partners as part of their research program. We encourage students to present their work at regional, national, and international forums.
Courses Taught by Prof Andrews (2006/2007)
APS111F - Engineering Strategies and PracticeI
This course introduces and provides a framework for the design process, problem solving and project management. Students are introduced to communicate as an integral component of engineering practice. The course is a vehicle for understanding problem solving and developing communication skills. This first course in the two Engineering Strategies and Practice sequence introduces students to the process of engineering design, reverse engineering as a design methodology, and to design for human factors, society and the environment. Students will write a technical report and an essay and also give presentations within a discussion group.
EDC430 - Environmental Engineering Design Project
In this course students in the Collaborative Program in Environmental Engineering work together on a feasibility study related to environmental engineering, typically the design of a drinking water treatment facility. Lectures are given on teamwork, project planning, scheduling, reporting and cost engineering.
