ENCE 627 - Environmental Modeling

[3]

The course covers the fundamental theories and techniques of modeling environmental processes, which is applicable to many disciplines of science and engineering. Students learn to identify key features of the environments and their ecological, biological and physico-chemical properties, represent the features mechanistically, identify their associated processes, derive governing equations for the processes and solve the equations. Solution techniques based on those available in Microsoft EXCEL will be introduced, and the students will learn to use the software as a universal solution platform by writing formulae and Microsoft Visual Basic macros to solve their assignment problems.
