Lectures and readings focus on bridges, railroads, power plants, highways, airports, harbors, automobiles, aircraft, computers, and the microchip. Historical analysis provides a basic for studying urban problems by focusing on scientific, political, ethical, and aesthetic aspects in the evolution of engineering over the past two centuries. The precepts and the papers will focus historically on engineering ideas including the social and political issues raised by these innovations and how they were shaped by society as well as how they helped shape culture.

Lectures and readings focus on bridges, railroads, power plants, highways, airports, harbors, automobiles, aircrafts, computers, and the microchip. The laboratory centers on the scientific analyses that are the bases for these major innovations. The experiments are modeled after those carried out by the innovators themselves, whose ideas are explored in the light of the social contexts within which they worked.

Introduction of the conservation equations frequently used to describe fluid. Students are then exposed to various dynamics that emerge from application of these equations through examples: flow of the atmospheric boundary layer, fluid-structures interactions and flow in urban areas, open channel and river flows, lake dynamics, flow in estuaries, and coastal dynamics. The course concludes with an overview of the effects of stratification and earth rotation on environmental flows and an introduction to large scale atmospheric and oceanic circulations.

The chemical and physical processes involved in the transformation, transport, sources, and sinks of air pollutants on local to global scales. Topics include photochemical smog, particulate matter, greenhouse gases, and stratospheric ozone depletion. Students will have the unique opportunity to analyze chemical and physical data acquired in real-time from the NSF Gulfstream-V research aircraft as it probes the atmosphere from the Earth's surface to the lower stratosphere over a latitudinal range from the Arctic to the Antarctic. A wide range of environments will be studied, from very clean, remote portions of the globe to urban megacities.

Students will design several features of a LEED-certified building project in the Princeton area. Features that will be considered include ground source heat pumps; ventilation; photovoltaics (PV); insulation; glazing; green materials; and storm water management systems, including a green roof, porous parking lots, and the gray water usage. Ventilation will be designed considering the potential for vapor intrusion from volatile contaminants in the soil. Energy software will be used to determine the carbon footprint of alternative designs.

A promising approach for reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide is geologic carbon sequestration (GCS), in which CO2 is captured from power plants and injected into deep geologic formations. Widespread adoption of GCS will require a sound understanding of the processes that govern the fate of the injected CO2. The course will examine these processes through coverage of the fundamental scientific and engineering principles relevant to GCS. The course will also examine these principles in the context of emerging government regulations for site selection, injection operations, and post-injection monitoring and stewardship.
