2 Course Description: This course covers the basic principles of chemical engineering as applied to the prevention, removal and treatment of various pollutants from gas, liquid and solid mixtures. Handling, management and disposal of hazardous wastes and materials will also be covered. This course is divided into 3 hours lecture and 2 hours lab per week. Students are expected to give a 45 minutes oral presentation on the properties, origin, production, use, health and environmental effects, treatment, disposal of a pollutant or a family of pollutants. Each student will be assigned a different topic from a list. The list could include the following: heavy metal ions in water, mercury, aromatic solvents, polymeric resins, PCB, halogenated solvents, organic acids, Freon, pesticide. Course Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion, students will be able to: 1. Analyze simple chemical processes by using mass balance 2. Describe and explain different operations used in the treatment of potable and waste water, and different methods of controlling air pollution 3. Apply government regulation in defining hazardous materials and wastes 4. Describe different methods of storing, handling, treating and disposing hazardous materials and wastes 5. Collect, record, analyze, interpret and present data obtained from experiments related to pollution control 6. Obtain current information on various significant pollutants by performing a formal literature search and verbally present the information Essential Employability Skills: This course supports the students ability to: Communicate clearly, concisely and correctly in the written, spoken, and visual form that fulfills the purpose and meets the needs of the audience. Respond to written, spoken, or visual messages in a manner that ensures effective communication. Execute mathematical operations accurately. Apply a systematic approach to solve problems. Use a variety of thinking skills to anticipate and solve problems. Locate, select, organize, and document information using appropriate technology and information systems. Analyze, evaluate, and apply relevant information from a variety of sources. Interact with others in groups or teams in ways that contribute to effective working relationships and the achievement of goals. Manage the use of time and other resources to complete projects. Prior Learning Assessment And Recognition Process(es): This course is eligible for PLAR through the Registrar and SETAS offices. Assessment of portfolio and/or testing may be discussed with faculty. Evaluation and Grading System: 1st term test 27.5% 2nd term test 27.5% Oral presentation 25.0% Laboratory 20.0% 12/9/2008 THIS COURSE ADHERES TO ALL COLLEGE POLICIES (See College Calendar) Page No. 2

3 If a particular test cannot be written or a particular experiment cannot be performed on the assigned date because of documented medical or compassionate reasons, a make-up test or experiment may be written or performed at the discretion of the Professor; otherwise, a mark of zero will be recorded. STUDENT ACCOMMODATION: All students have the right to study in an environment that is free from discrimination and/or harassment. It is College Policy to provide accommodation based on grounds defined in the Ontario Human Rights Code. Accommodation may include changes or modifications to standard practices. Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations must register with the Centre for Student with Disabilities. Please see the Centre for Students with Disabilities for details. Students requiring accommodation based on human rights grounds should talk with their professors as early as possible. Details are available on the Centennial College website ( ). If students are unable to write an examination due to a medical problem or unforeseen family problems, they should immediately contact their professor or program Chair for advice. In exceptional and well documented circumstances (e.g. unexpected family problems, serious illness, or death of a close family member), students should be able to write a make-up examination to replace an examination missed.

4 College Policies POLICY STATEMENTS The following statements are selected from Centennial College policies approved by the Board of Governors. Student Responsibilities Students are expected to know the contents of the course outline and to discuss with the professor any areas where clarification is required. Students should keep all course outlines for each course taken at Centennial College. These may be used to apply for transfer of credit to other educational institutions. A fee may be charged for additional or replacement copies. Other Policies Students should familiarize themselves with all College Policies that cover students rights, responsibilities, and the Academic Appeal process. For further information, consult the Academic Matters Section in the full-time and Continuing Education calendars. The Academic Appeal Application form is available from any Enrolment Services Office. Proof of Student Status Students must produce official photo identification at any time during the semester when requested to do so by any professor. (The official piece is the Centennial Student Card.) Continuing Education students do not have Centennial Student Cards, and so they may use other forms of photo identification, such as a driver s license, health card, or other government-issued photo identification. Final Examinations When writing a test or examination, students must put their official photo-id cards in full view for review by the invigilator. Students who do not have official photo-id will be permitted to write the examination with a substitute photo-id, but they will be required to produce photo-id at the program or department office within 24 hours or the next business day following the examination, or else the examination results will be void. More Final Examination Policies are available at Academic Progression Policy for Diploma and Certificate Programs: College Academic Standings will be applied. Please see Academic Policies and Procedures, Full-Time Calendar. Faculty Consultation Professors are available to see students outside of class time. Students can contact professors via voice mail, , or through their program or department office. Information regarding how to contact teachers will be provided at the beginning of the course and is also available in the program or department office. Human Rights Statement It is the policy of the College that all programs will strive for a learning, teaching, and working environment that promotes inclusion, understanding, and respect for all students and employees, consistent with the Ontario Human Rights Code and Centennial College's Statement of Diversity. 12/9/2008 THIS COURSE ADHERES TO ALL COLLEGE POLICIES (See College Calendar) Page No. 4
