Water and Wastewater Treatment Engineering
MIT OpenCourseWare offers this civil and environmental engineering course covering the theory and conceptual design of systems that treat municipal wastewater and drinking water. Topics include reactor theory, process kinetics, and modeling, along with physical, chemical, and biological treatment methods such as sedimentation, filtration, biological treatment, disinfection, and sludge processing. The course also addresses engineered and natural treatment processes. Materials follow the standard MIT OCW format of lecture notes, assignments, and readings drawn from an actual MIT course, giving students a full technical grounding in how water quality is protected at the municipal scale. Free to access with no certificate offered, this is suited to students with an engineering background looking for a rigorous treatment of water and wastewater systems design.
