Description
Learn skills that prepare students for a career in the environmental engineering field. The class will be divided into two components: the first will focus on resume writing, applying to and interviewing for jobs/graduate school, and exploring career opportunities in Environmental Engineering. Also, various training-related research papers will be written. The second part will focus on a senior project involving research into material synthesis and other topics relevant to environmental applications. Students will work in the lab and collect and analyze the data related to it. Students will publish research articles in high-impact international Environmental Engineering journals. Examples of projects include water and wastewater treatment for persistent organic pollutants and bacterial removal, conversion of greenhouse CO2 gases into valuable fuels, and hydrogen/oxygen production. The obtained data will be presented at various conferences. Students should create preliminary designs to meet the project goal and present and report on finished products. Offered: Fall, Spring
