Experiment Design for Environmental Engineering

Experiment Design for Environmental Engineering provides a wide range of practical environmental engineering laboratory experiments for implementation by students in a university laboratory or by practicing professionals in the field, along with an extensive discussion on how to design an experiment that will provide meaningful and useful data, how to interpret the data generated from an experiment, and how to present those data to an audience of other students or professionals. The example experiments provide a way to evaluate a new design against an existing experiment to determine what information is most appropriate in each section and how to format the data for the most effective outcome. FeaturesFills in the gap in ABET requirements to teach students how to design experiments and includes key elements for a successful designCovers experiments for a wide range of environmental engineering topicsProvides standardized approach that includes a basic background to the concepts and step-by-step procedure for conducting the experimentExplains designs that are suitable for college laboratory and professional applicationsShows how to organize experimental data as it is collected to optimize usefulnessProvides templates for design of the experiment and for presenting the resulting data to technical and nontechnical audiences or clients
