Geo-environmental Engineering

A Miss Anne approach to CN301 for Polytechnic Students.

CN301 : Geo-environmental Engineering

Posted by Anne Mustafar at 19:52

1. Demonstrate critical thinking related to site investigation and land remediation to overcome geo-environmental problem.
2. Use the knowledge site investigation and land remediation with related guidelines and technology to overcome the geo-environmental problems.
3. Explain correctly the soil characteristics related to geo-environmental and contaminant migration pathway.

Session June 2014

Chapter 1 : Introduction - This topic begins with the definition of geo-environmental engineering and also discusses related issues and acts. The effect and sources of soil pollution will be discussed.
Chapter 2 : Soil Formation & Identification - This topic familiarizes the students in basic issues relating to soil mineralogy and soil formation including the properties and composition of soils. This topic also helps the student to understand the basic soil tests equipment.
Chapter 3 : Contamination Migration Pathway - This topic explains various types of soil contaminants transportation methods (advection, diffusion and dispersion) and its effects on the quality of surface waters and groundwater. It also explains contaminant transfer in soil.
Chapter 4 ; Geo- environmental Engineering Site Investigation - This topic explains the principles of site investigation for contaminated land to overcome geo-environmental problem. The tool and sampling method for site investigation also will be explained.
Chapter 5 : Land Remedation - This topic discusses various techniques used for land remediation. The design and analysis of leachate collection and removal system will also be covered.
