ASCE's Water Treatment Certificate Program is designed for the practicing engineer looking to upskill in the field of water treatment. Learn how to use the latest technology to make drinking water from groundwater, lakes, rivers, streams, oceans, stormwater, and wastewater reuse. You will also learn all the planning aspects required to lay the groundwork for a new water treatment plan.

In these courses, you'll acquire sought-after skills that will help you excel in your current position or advance to a new one. You'll be instructed by a practicing professional that has managed more than 200 water treatment projects, and who is considered a master in this field.

Suggested Pre-Requisites

  • Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

How It Works

  • 5 On-demand courses required to complete this certificate program
  • Complete all 5 On-demand courses within 1 year of enrollment
  • Earn a certificate of completion after all 5 courses are finished

You will be able to:

  • Determine how rapidly changing regulatory requirements and technologies need to be applied to deal with emerging contaminants and customer demands
  • Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the planning elements needed to develop a water treatment plant - from energy consideration and permitting needs, to source water development and pilot testing
  • Explain the major unit processes used in water treatment, including chemical, physical, and biological processes
  • Demonstrate the process design criteria for all types of groundwater treatment issues: including iron and manganese, nitrates, radionuclides, arsenic and many more!

Who Should Attend?

  • Environmental Engineer
  • Water Resources Engineer
  • Civil Engineer (Water/Wastewater focus)
  • Hydraulic Engineer
  • Process Engineer (Water Treatment)
  • Groundwater Engineer / Hydrogeologist
  • Design Engineer (Water Systems)
  • Sanitary Engineer

Certificate Courses: (All 5 courses must be completed.)

Suggested Order of Completion

Assessment of Learning Outcomes

Achievement of the learning objectives will be assessed through exams in each course.

How to Earn your CEUs/PDHs and Receive Your Certificate of Completion

To receive your certificate of completion, you will need to complete exams in each course and receive a passing score of 70% or higher on each exam for each course in the package within 1 year of the purchase date.

How do I convert CEUs to PDHs?

1.0 CEU = 10 PDHs [Example: 0.1 CEU = 1 PDH]
