Overview
Environmental Systems Engineering explains how to use new computerized tools to tackle problems in systems engineering. This book covers: expert systems, fuzzy logic, networks, process dynamics, control and statistical approaches to systems analysis. Computer simulation, mathematical models, and newer methods that apply artificial intelligence and neural networks to environmental problems are emphasized. Each book topic is supported by an interactive web site featuring computer graphics, teaching games and navigational aids. Topics are developed through the use of computer exercises using practical problems as examples.Synopsis

Developed from an introductory course, initially for students of environmental engineering, but gradually incorporating more chemical engineering. The topics include dynamical processes, hydraulic networks, expert system, fuzzy logic, and statistical approaches. The treatment of each is restricted, on the assumption that students will pursue them further in more advanced classes and texts. Accompanying computerized tutorials are currently written in BASIC but are being translated into Java and Javascript. Both versions are available on the Internet and World Wide Web; the BASIC version is also available on a disk from the publisher. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
