CIVE 448 – Drinking Water Contaminants – Chemistry, Toxicology and Greener Interventions (20555)

Newly Chemistry Specific Section in 4th year elective for Chemistry Undergraduate Students:

Instructor: Dr. Luiz Da Silva Correa
Spring 2025, 10:00-11:20 M Th Ell 160

This course is centered around a final team design project that resembles a consulting opportunity, proposing interventions in the life cycle of trace metals in drinking water to protect human health and the environment. We will cover chemistry in water with a focus on metals, drinking water treatment technologies, toxicology, materials flow and life-cycle thinking, regulations, and an understanding of function in an industrial process. All assignments in the course are designed to feed your knowledge and understanding to better prepare you for your design project.

4th year Chemistry Undergraduates are eligible to enroll in this course with permission of the instructor. The prerequisite of CIVE 310 will be waived and this course can be counted as a Chem-400 level lecture course by substitution. Please contact Dr. Heather Buckley (hbuckley@uvic.ca) for more information

Declaring your program is how you officially tell UVic what you want to study. 

Stating your area of interest on your UVic application is NOT declaring your program.

Declaring means that you’ll be able to access your degree audit (called a CAPP report) and see exactly which requirements you’ve met, which you still need to register for, and what’s in-progress.
