Now in its second edition, Environmental Engineering: Fundamentals, Sustainability, Design by Mihelcic and Zimmerman has evolved from the traditional approach centered on describing, characterizing, quantifying, and monitoring current environmental problems to one that is focused on the design and development of innovative new solutions. The breadth and depth of coverage is appropriate for a one-semester undergraduate course, having been streamlined to a manageable 11 chapters in the new edition.
New to This Edition
- Coverage has been carefully aligned with the National Academy of Engineering’s focus on managing carbon and nitrogen. A section was added to what would traditionally be a water pollution and control chapter that focuses on nutrient management and recovery, offering examples related to advanced technologies to more effectively reclaim nitrogen and phosphorous.
- Updated topical coverage to keep the text current with rapidly changing environmental challenges and engineering solutions.
- Streamlined coverage to match a one-semester course. With the new structure of 11 chapters, there is an increased emphasis on practical field orientated applications of engineering practice.
- The Chapter on Air Resources Engineering has been updated, now including a discussion and examples of application of Gaussian Plume Models and emphasis of demand management strategies along with traditional air pollution control technologies.
