Required Course Pre- or Co-requisites:
The emphasis of the course is on the integrated aspects of the urban
drainage system, including wastewater treatment and receiving stream impacts.
The student is epected tp be familiar with the fundamentals of hydrology
and of wastewater treatment processes. Typical prerequisites (or corequisites)
would be:
1. a course in Hydrology such as
CE 440 Urban Hydraulics or
CE 542 Hydrology or similar
2. a course in water and wastewater treatment such as CE 456 Wastewater
Treatment or similar.
*In addition, students should have prior computer experience and be
able to install software.
Aim
The objectives of the course are threefold:
1. To impart to the student an understanding of the operational interplay
between the three components in the urban drainage system: the sewer system,
the treatment plant and the receiving waters
2. To convey to the student the importance of this interplay for the
reduction of pollution released during rain runoff.
3. To teach the student how to utilise an integrated modelling tool
for achieving optimised performance.
Teaching method
Internet based teaching with bi-weekly exercises that are solved using
a dedicated teaching model.
The tools applied for distance learning are:
* A model available as a computer programme, downloaded from the course
web-site, with a learning friendly interface suitable for distance learning.
* A result presentation programme with animation of results, so as
to facilitate the understanding of the interplay between the components
in the urban drainage system.
* Bi-weekly exercises, consisting of problem-sets with multimedia interface
in order to catch the interest of the student.
* A textbook set with background information and user manuals for use
of the programmes.
* On-line chat sessions between the student and the supervisor, with
support and explanations to the students during the problems solving of
the exercises.
Contents
A modular teaching approach is used, whereby each module builds on
the next in increasing complexity. The key element that links the modules
and actively involves the students is an integrated software-modelling
tool that will be used to illustrate the system dynamics. The software-modelling
tool will be used by the students to complete the exercises at the end
of each module. The exercises are based on a case study that is used in
all modules. In the final module the student is cast in the role of a consultant
vying for a contract to minimise the pollution impact to a system at the
least cost. Fellow students are the competing consultants.
The course is made up of the following seven modules:
Module 1: Analysis of system
Module 2: Nutrient loads
Module 3: Oxygen depletion
Module 4: Sensitivity analysis: TP-overflow
Module 5: Effects of new system components
Module 6: Rule based control
Module 7: Competitive optimisation
All registered students receive a unique log-on ID that will provide
access to following:
* The computer simulation programme
* Model description and user manual
* Result animation programme.
* Exercises
* Textbook explanation
Course starting and ending dates:
The course starting date is August 20, 2001 and the end on
December 7, 2001.
Grades:
Grades will be issued by DTU in December 2001 and transferred to
your records by the registrar at Purdue University.
