Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering is the outgrowth of a team-taught course at Michigan Technological University which provides a bridge for a student to move from their basic science and math courses to their introductory and upper level environmental engineering courses which apply those fundamentals to local and global environmental problems. Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering presents those required fundamentals along with close to one hundred applications for a diverse set of relevant environmental situations including multimedia issues encompassing engineered treatment and chemical fate and transport in air, water, and soil.This text is not just intended for students majoring in civil, environmental engineering or environmental science, but for students from a wide variety of disciplines who may work on environmental problems or incorporate environmental concerns into their specialty.

Focuses on modern sustainable design concepts, processes, and practices Applies foundational principles of physics, chemistry, biology, and sustainability to creating solutions for managing and mitigating environmental problems Places emphasis on global issues such as pollution prevention and resource recovery Explains energy and mass balance concepts using numerous clear and engaging example problems Provides a coherent and unified approach to life cycle assessment and thinking development Features effective pedagogical tools, including numerical assessment and design problems, research activities, discussion topics, and extensive online learning resources Includes extensive teaching materials for instructors, such as active learning exercises, homework assignments, classroom activities, and a solutions manual
