. Food and its availability is of major concern in various regions of the world,especially in the underdeveloped communities. Furthermore if the water is used downstream forfarming, there might be additional concerns. This also impacts the quality and life of aquaticcreatures (especially fish) and wildlife. The water samples are taken at various locations of theriver. They are then shipped to the college in the USA. The laboratory experiments are performedto analyze each sample at this college. The laboratory results are analyzed and conclusions aredrawn based on the data from the lab experiments.Introduction:Five total sites were considered, three sets of samples were obtained from the Shanghai tributaryof the Yangtze River from each of the

laboratory. The goal is to develop a strongfoundation for both students’ future academic work and professional career. Successfulstudents will be able to do the following: produce engineering drawings and models both byhand and using the SolidWorks CAD package, visualize objects in three dimensions, work inteams to perform various elements of engineering design, and demonstrate effective technicalcommunication skills. In the syllabus, “Engineering design is more than just tinkering; it isthe logical application of scientific principles to a tangible design. It involves creativity,dedication, thought, research, ingenuity, and work. It may well be your first experience in"real world" engineering.” are put special emphasis. According to the topics

Lincoln University’s STEM students will have an opportunity to engage inhigh impact research opportunities in the future. Five full scholarships (tuition and fees) wereearmarked to ACC graduates electing to study STEM, particularly engineering, at Lincoln.As Lincoln University’s Engineering Program continues to grow, the expectation is that multiplefaculty-led experiences to these various locations will occur over short breaks and during thesummer as well as students can embark on individual semester opportunities. For example,during the development of the ESP curriculum

At the same time, the data allowus to operationalize these experiences in the context of engineering classrooms, including bothlecture and laboratory courses, and identify nuances in each category that are unique to the

The goal of the project was to analyze anddevelop a low-cost turbidity monitoring network to address key issues in coastal management. The studentswere involved in the completion of the largest and most comprehensive survey of Moreton Bay sediments todate; 220 sites were sampled over a 1500 km2 area in a 3-month field campaign with all students participating inboth the field work and laboratory analysis. Results from this project were included in the Health WaterwaysEcosystem Health Report Card for 2015, which assesses the health of waterways across the entire South

These skills include: leadership, decision making, trust building, and conflict management.  Monitoring Progress- Groups need to discuss amongst themselves whether they are achieving their set goals; they also need to prioritize the scheduled activities, introduce changes if need be, solicit advice and assistance with the consent of the instructor, and maintain effective
