Objectives of this course are:
- to enable engineers to read and understand epidemiological studies associating environmental conditions to human health;
- to enable students to identify the sanitary barriers that interrupt the most common disease transmission cycles and to identify what failures have occurred when a crisis arises;
- to be able to critically evaluate engineering strategies introduced to induce a specific health outcome;
- and to enable public health professionals to be eloquent spokespeople for environmental health interventions where appropriate.
