Microbiology, which is required for all undergraduate EnvironmentalEngineering students, should be a prerequisite for this course. With this pre-requisite content inmind, undergraduate Environmental Engineering students could take the course the last semesterof their senior year. Students earning a degree in Environmental Studies don’t typically have allof these courses, so some changes would need to be made to accommodate cross-listing.

. Most students today and engineering students in particularfeel so comfortable with information technology that they often think they are more adept atdoing research than they actually are. Trussell explains, “Students arriving at college are oftenill prepared to grapple with the information resources presented by the modern academic library.Compounding the problem is the fact that many students have come to believe that accessing andusing information is simple, a belief supported by commercial marketing practices and popularusage of the Internet. …Popular usage maybe easy, but effective research usage is not.”18Fosmire and Macklin agree and they contend: “…The bigger problem, however, lies in thefundamental belief that competence with

These countries arefacing serious productivity problems and poverty. The end user costs of basic necessitiessuch as water, energy, construction, transportation and communication are high compared toindustrialized countries, even though hourly labour costs are much lower (Trevelyan and Tilli2003). It is time to ask what engineers do in developing countries and under what conditionsthey do it. More specifically, we must understand how this differs from what they do inindustrialized countries. Are these differences affecting the way they think and act? Withthousands of excess graduates in engineering
