To help you prepare for the Environmental Engineering PE exam, NC State University has created a series of three DVD review sessions designed to acquaint you with the fundamental knowledge, concepts, and equations you'll need to pass the exam. These DVDs were developed from a series of Environmental PE exam review seminars held recently by engineering faculty on North Carolina State's Centennial Campus.

Module 1: Water Treatment Operations and Processes

Instructed by Dr. Richard O. Mines, Jr., PE

Module 1 covers basic chemical concepts, water quality parameters & standards, an overview of water treatment, coagulation and flocculation, softening and sedimentation, and filtration and disinfection. Dr. Mines devotes significant review time to problem-solving techniques for the exam.

Module 2: Wastewater Systems

Instructed by Victor A. D'Amato, PE

Module 2 focuses on treatment standards, wastewater treatment, system components, loading factors, influent, flow diagrams, clarifiers, filtration, disinfection, sludge, dewatering, mass balance, and kinetics of biological growth. Mr. D'Amato also reviews Water Quality Modeling including reactor dynamics, CSTR & PFR reactors, activated sludge, trickling, BOD, Streeter-Phelps Equation, oxygen sag, aeration, oxidation, and rotating biological contactors. Mr. D'Amato discusses exam-taking tips and conversion factors and works numerous practice problems, as well.

Module 3:

Part 1: Solid Waste and Hazardous Materials Systems

Part one includes an overview of regulations, solid waste management, land filling, incineration, and hazardous waste treatment and remediation.

Part 2: Air Quality Systems

Part 2 covers air flow, ideal gas law, indoor air quality, stationary source, mobile source, and control technologies.

Part 3: Public Health & Safety

Part three focuses on industrial hygiene, emergency plans, epidemiology, toxicology and radiation protection

Media: Self-loading DVDs

Each of the three review modules is approximately 6 hours in duration. A CD-ROM of the instructors' notes is also enclosed.

All CDs and DVDs are non-returnable.
