水污染防治工程是环境工程学的一个技术领域，同当地自然条件（地形、气象、河流、土壤性质等）、社会条件（城市、地区发展、工农业生产、人口密度、交通情况、经济生活、技术水平等）都有密切关系。因此，必须综合考虑各种污水的产生、水量和水质的控制、污水输送集中方式、污水处理方法及排放和回用要求、水体、土壤等自然净化能力进行全面规划，综合防治。从60年代开始发展起来的水系污染综合防治工程根据水系分布情况，分段分区研究其环境容量、自净规律，确定各区段的污染负荷，修建相应处理措施，控制污染源，包括修建区域性联合污水处理厂、调节水体水量和污染负荷。也可调引附近水系的水或修建曝气设施，以增加水体自净能力，改善水质。同时还应进行水系污染底质防治公车功能和农田、矿山等地面径流的污染防治工程，改进各种污水处理技术，提高处理效率，降低费用能耗，充分利用水资源，进行污水的循环回用等，沿着水污染综合防治继续不断发展。目前，综合环境保护管理部门要求，对水环境污染物进行浓度控制和总量控制的综合规划是水污染防治工程的重要内容。

环境质量监测是一种环境监测内容，主要监测环境中污染物的分布和浓度，以确定环境质量状况，定时、定点的环境质量监测历史数据，可以为环境质量评价和环境影响评价提供必不可少的依据；为对污染物迁移转化规律的科学研究也提供的基础数据。 环境评价是环境影响评价和环境质量评价的简称。从广义上说，环境评价是对环境系统状况的价值评定、判断和提出对策。从环境卫生学角度按照一定的评价标准和方法对一定区域范围内的环境质量进行客观的定性和定量调查分析、评价和预测。环境质量评价实质上是对环境质量优与劣的评定过程，该过程包括环境评价因子的确定、环境监测、评价标准、评价方法、环境识别，因此环境质量评价的正确性体现在上述5个环节的科学性与客观性。常用的方法有数理统计方法和环境指数方法两种。

环境规划是为了协调发展经济和保护环境，对一定时期内环境保护的目标和措施所做的规划，一般分为全国性的和地区性的规划，由国家或地方政府制定，也可以进行跨行政区的规划，如区域规划或河流流域规划，城区规划等，也可以根据环境要素分类规划，由环境行政主管部门作出，如大气污染防治规划，水质污染防治规划，土壤污染防治规划等。 制订规划以前必须先进行环境调查，然后进行评价并进行环境预测，才能制定出相应的、可行的、可达到预定目标的规划。

环境系统工程又称“环境系统分析”、“环境系统科学”。研究环境系统规划、设计、管理方法和手段的技术科学。它是数学模拟、系统分析和计算机技术同环境污染控制技术的结合。

森林工程是以森林资源建设与保护、开发与利用为目的的一门综合性应用专业。它以森林生态学为依据研究森林合理采伐的方式和集林方式，以运筹学为基础，研究木材生产的优化规划方案选择。组织管理和经济效益，以工程力学和机械学为基础研究采运工程建设和机械的使用，森林工程学的形成和完善推动了林业工程的发展。

The goal of this course is to introduce the students the fundamental concepts of physical pollution (noise pollution, vibration pollution, radiation pollution, light pollution, and heat pollution) and their control. This course is to make the students to understand the basic definition of physical pollution, to understand the various adverse impacts of physical pollution, to identify the sources of physical pollution, to quantify the levels of pollution, and to understand the technical approaches to control the pollution.

The course introduces students to the theory, tools, and techniques of environmental engineering design and creative problem-solving, as well as design issues and practices in environmental engineering. The course includes several design cases, with an emphasis on environmental engineering process design, reactor design, pipeline design, equipment selection and application , economic and social factors analysis.

"This course mainly covers the technologies applied in soil pollution control and remediation, such as heavy metal pollutions, pesticide pollutions, fertilizer pollutions, solid waste pollutions, wastewater pollutions, etc. Additionally, this course has a brief introduction about the diagnosis and risk analysis methods for soil pollution."

This course is one of the main courses for environmental engineering majors. By means of introducing different treatment methods, this course aims at water purification. The main content of this curriculum includes: the principles and characteristics of physicochemical processes for water and wastewater treatment; the basic calculation methods, the applications, the main components and the operational characteristics of these processes; the latest typical water and wastewater treatment processes and technology at home and abroad. The course will mainly cover coagulation, sedimentation and clarification, flotation, filtration, disinfection, oxidation and reduction, membrane separation, softening and desalination, and so on. This course will familiarize students with physicochemical theories for water and wastewater treatment, and enhance their ability to resolve the problems in this field.

"Environmental Assessment is an important tool for public and private
development and planning decisions toward creating a sustainable society. In this
course, students learn EIA theories, methods, regulations and its historical process with
several case studies. Scientific aspects such as predictions and evaluation methods as
well as democratic aspects relating to public participation will be explained. We will
also explore "strategic environmental assessment” as new areas of Environmental Assessment."

This class provides a general introduction to the diverse roles of microorganisms in natural and artificial environments. It will cover topics including: cellular architecture, energetics, and growth; evolution and gene flow; population and community dynamics; water and soil microbiology; biogeochemical cycling; and microorganisms in biodeterioration and bioremediation.

Aquatic Environmental Chemistry is an important branch of Environmental Chemistry, and it mainly focuses on formation, distribution and cycling procedures of various elements, compounds (natural and anthropogenic), as well as the relationships with other environmental media, clearly reflecting multi-discipline of geo-science and chemistry. The earth aquatic environment mainly includes territorial water body and seawater body, characterized by close association and significant difference. Since global industrialization, the influences from human activities have been far stronger than those from most natural procedures, and aquatic environment has been an extremely important receiver for large amounts of various pollutants emitted. It plays a critical role in controlling transport, transform, fate, as well as related biological and ecological effects (such as deformation, carcinogenicity and mutagenicity) at different spatial and temporal scales.

This course introduces the basic concepts and methodology of environmental sciences, as well as the main characters of earth environmental system, pollution in different environmental medias (air, water, soil, etc.), ecological problems, global environmental problems, and environmental disasters. The course could help the students to learn the basic features of environmental sciences, and provide assistance for them to carry out scientific research, teaching and other works in the future. It could also provide a basis for further studies on other follow-up courses in environmental science fields.

This course explores basic theories, pollution control technologies, and pollution control engineering in current Environmental Engineering practices. Upon successful completion of the course, students will master the basic theories and methods of pollution control engineering and prevention technology.
