Courses

Principles and procedures pertaining to planning airport facilities required to meet the immediate and future air transportation of a community or region.

Air Quality Engineering is an introductory course that explores the evaluation and management of air resources in relation to human and environmental health. The course emphasizes fundamental principles of air quality assessment and design processes for engineered solutions. Students are also introduced to a variety of air pollution issues and treatment technologies used to mitigate contaminants in the atmosphere.

Overview of atmospheric pollutant effects, reactions, and sources. Introduction to air dispersion modeling and ambient air quality monitoring.

Atmospheric pollutants; effects, reactions, and sources. Air pollution meteorology and dispersion modeling. Ambient monitoring. CE 537. Environmental Experimental Design and Field Sampling. 3 Hours. Experimental design, sensitivity analyses, water sampling, and flow monitoring. Receiving water chemical reactions. Field investigations. CE 537L. Environmental Experimental Design and Field Sampling Lab. 0 Hours. Lab experiences in environmental experimental design and field sampling.

This course presents air sampling techniques used for the evaluation of airborne gases, vapors, aerosols, and biological agents found in the workplace. Quantitative methods of frequent use in industrial hygiene are illustrated following an integrated approach that includes components of sampling strategies, collection techniques, data analyses, and exposure assessment principles.

This course presents techniques and equipment used for collection of airborne contaminants, including integrated and real time methods. Experiments also focus on quality control including calibration techniques, preparation of test atmospheres, and statistical methods of data analysis. One 3-hour laboratory period per week. Field trips may be required.

Air traffic control procedures, facilities, center, and operations. Theory of radar operation and air traffic separation.

Principles and analysis of air transport industry development, its regulatory environment, and associated certification processes.

Management decision making involved in selection of equipment, routes and the establishment of rates by certified and non-certified air carriers.

A study of the selection, application, maintenance, and discontinuance of various artificial airways. Emphasis will be on intubation, extubation, tracheostomy care, and suctioning. The role of the respiratory therapist in a cardiopulmonary arrest will be covered in accordance with American Heart Association Advanced Cardiopulmonary Life Support (ACLS) guidelines. ACLS will be taught.
