ENEN 701 Special Topics in Environmental Engineering:

Green Infrastructure for Stormwater Management

M/W 4:00-5:15 PM • Fall 2023

Instructor: Prof. Claire Welty • weltyc@umbc.edu

NOTE: While presented with an engineering focus, nonengineers such as landscape architects, planners, and environmental scientists should find the course to be useful

This course presents fundamentals of green urban stormwater infrastructure from an engineering design and analysis perspective. The focus is on novel stormwater control measures (SCMs) for reduction of impacts from urban stormwater. At the end of the course the student will be able to design a variety of types of SCMs. The course is complementary to graduate surface water hydrology and traditional water and wastewater treatment engineering. While presented with an engineering focus, nonengineers such as landscape architects, planners, and environmental scientists should find the course to be useful.
