WW 6.172 INDUSTRIAL PRETREATMENT & STORMWATER CONTROL( 3 credits) This is the beginning of a sequence of classes dealing with wastewater treatment and stormwater control. This course covers the monitoring, regulation, and treatment of industrial wastewater discharges into public treatment systems. The second focus of this course is the collection and handling of stormwater in public treatment systems. Prerequisite: WW 6.190 Introduction to Environmental Technology
WW 6.176 OREGON CDL EXAM PREP( 2 credits) This course will prepare the student to take the general knowledge portion of the Commercial Driver License exam. The Commercial Driver License focuses on safety aspects of the operation of commercial vehicles. All Oregon requirements to take the exam are the responsibility of the student. This course does not meet the requirements of any of the CDL endorsements but covers the safety and legal requirements of the endorsement. It is the responsibility of the student to meet Oregon licensing requirements, schedule testing, and pay all fees.
WW 6.190 INTRO TO ENVIRONMENTAL TECH( 4 credits) Introduces students to field of environmental science, pollution control, and environmental technology. This course will provide the basic understanding of the normal ecology of the planet and the risks associated with pollution of our the environment. Sources of environmental pollution and control technologies including safe drinking water, wastewater treatment, air pollution, solid waste, and hazardous waste management are covered. Required: Students must be registered in the Water, Environment and Technology Program to register for this course. Concurrent enrollment in WW 6.170 Introduction to Public Works and MTH 060 Introduction to Algebra is also required.
