Water and wastewater personnel are often required to read and interpret a variety of plans, blueprints and flow charts to aid them in performing maintenance, fine-tune treatment processes or simply to review and comment on proposed construction. Participants will become familiarized with how to use the architectural, mechanical, engineering and electrical drawings commonly used in the water and wastewater treatment industry. In addition, the students will use engineer and architect scales, review topographical and surveying maps, interpret piping and flow diagrams and prepare effective field sketches.
