Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the role of engineers in wastewater treatment, specifically within the context of civil engineering. Participants explore the responsibilities and tasks associated with this role, including design, construction, and operational aspects.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks a diagram or visual representation of the engineer's role in wastewater treatment, indicating a lack of resources in their current study materials.
  • Another participant outlines that the engineer's role includes designing, building, and supervising wastewater treatment plants.
  • A third participant expands on this by detailing specific responsibilities: planning capacity, designing with appropriate codes, supervising construction, and managing operations and maintenance.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the fundamental responsibilities of engineers in wastewater treatment, though the discussion remains focused on outlining these roles rather than resolving any specific disagreements.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of specific diagrams or visual aids requested by the initial poster, as well as potential variations in the interpretation of the engineer's role based on different educational resources.

Who May Find This Useful

Students studying civil engineering, particularly those focusing on sanitation and wastewater management, may find this discussion relevant.

Hi!

I searched web but couldn't find the answer.
I need to draw something like a diagram of The Role Of The Engineer in Wastewater threatment ..
btw. i am studying Civil engineering..
it would really help me if you just gave me link of some page with something like this..
I searched all through my books and lecture notes but there is no such thing inthere..
please help
my exam is very close and i have no idea how to make this one
thanx a lot!

Hello. I am also studying civil engineering, i took Sanitation as my first elective. I remember the role of the engineer is Wastewater treatment is basically to design, build and supervise the functioning of a wastewater plants.
 
Cyclovenom put it quite succinctly.

One can find more information here about civil engineering in general - http://www.asce.org/asce.cfm

1. Planning - one must determine capacity
2. Design - using appropriate codes and engineering design tools
3. Construction - an engineer will likely supervise construction
4. Operations - including maintainence
