Course description and outline By
Husam Al-Najar

2. Course description:
This course is designed to provide an overview of engineering approaches on the design of wastewater treatment processes with advanced technologies. Theory and conceptual design of systems for the treatment of wastewater will be discussed.
Students will be provided with a solid understanding of important principles and practices to protect the municipal water quality through good design principles of appropriate waste treatment processes.
Topics include wastewater characterization and treatment, using both conventional and advanced treatment technologies. Physical, chemical, and biological process designs will be presented, including sedimentation, filtration, biological treatment, and sludge processing.

3. Main goals: 
Develop methods for wastewater treatment and water reuse to reduce aquifer contamination and over abstraction.
Establishing a new strategy capable of solving current water problems facing our national and international communities.
This is also in line with achieving two objectives as followed:
Mastering knowledge of scientific methods for research and development tasks in the field of water technology and understand and know how to resolve multidisciplinary issues of treatment, and management.
Providing students with up-to-date foundations and advanced methods in various domains of Water Technology.
