Environmental Systems Analysis

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

Applications of mathematical modeling, simulation, and optimization to environmental systems planning and management. Fate and transport models for contaminants in air, water, and soil. Optimization methods (search techniques, linear programming, integer programming) to evaluate alternatives for power systems, solid- waste management, and water and air pollution control. Introduction to the impact of uncertainty on solutions and risk assessment through simulation.
