Introduction to Wastewater Treatment - WWTF Course #1
6/10/2020 - 7/22/20201:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Event Description
Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals I - is a series of correspondence (self-study) courses combined with online webinars. The format of these courses is a hybrid one and different from what many of you may have experienced. The courses in this series were developed using the Water Environment Federation’s new “Wastewater Fundamentals I, Liquid Treatment” textbook. The textbook will be shipped to you and an email will be sent to you containing the first reading assignment to be completed prior to the first webinar. You will be given a weekly reading and homework assignment, which will then be followed by an online (webinar) presentation with a live instructor. There will also be an end-of-chapter test. Homework and tests will closely follow material found in the textbook. The courses in this series are limited to 15 students.
Questions about this series of courses should be directed to Susan Boynton at sboynton@pwea.org or at 717-642-9500.
Course #1 is approved for 15 contact hours - PA DEP Course ID 8210. Estimated time to complete Course #1 is 15 hours over 5 weeks.
