COURSE SYLLABUS

1. Course Code: ENV20

2. Course Title: INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

3. Pre-requisite: CHM12

4. Co-requisite: None

5. Credit: 2 units

6. Course Description:

This course covers the study of environmental systems and disturbances, sources of primary andsecondary pollutants, technologies in water and wastewater treatment, air pollution control, solid andhazardous wastes management, environmental regulations. Different threats to the environment,

how the manufacturing and construction industry contribute to environmental problems, and how todevelop an environmental management plan to prevent further deterioration of the environment willbe given emphases.

VISION

Mapúa shall be an international center of excellence in technology education by:

• providing instructions that are current in content and state-of-the art in delivery;

• engaging in cutting-edge research; and

• responding to the big local and global technological challenges of the times.

MISSION

a. The mission of Mapua Institute of Technology is to disseminate, generate, preserve and apply scientific, engineering,architectural and IT knowledge.

b. The Institute shall, using the most effective means, provide its students with professional and advance scientificengineering, architectural and information technology education through rigorous and up-to-date academic program withample opportunities for the exercise of creativity and the experience of discovery.

c. It shall implement curricula that, while being steeped in technologies, shall also be rich in the humanities, languages andsocial sciences that will inculcate ethics.

d. The Institute shall advance and preserve knowledge by undertaking research and reporting on the results of such inquiries.e. The Institute, singly or in collaboration with others, shall bring to bear the world’s vast store of knowledge in science,

engineering and other realms on the problems of the industry and the community in order to make the Philippines and the

world a better place.

MISSIONEDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES FOR BASIC STUDIES

a b c d e
