and OutreachAfter the conclusion of the capstone, the first opportunity to use the system in outreach/researchwas within the Young Scholar Program (YSP), a very successful program lead by the Center forSTEM Education at Northeastern University. The YSP is a 6-week summer program that offersfuture scientists and engineers a unique opportunity for a hands-on research experience whilestill in high school. The program is open to local applicants who have completed their junior yearof high school (i.e. rising seniors). Over the summer of 2016, two rising seniors were assignedto work under the guidance of the PI(s) on a research project related to water reuse. The studentswere also asked to review the content of the website and create additional

value with some aspect of thedemonstration. We received the strongest responses with “This demo activity was a good use ofclass time” (4.71±0.57) and “This demo was interesting and engaging” (4.68±0.58). One studentshared with us that “I love demos. You are interacting, and you are not just watching a YouTubevideo.” The variation between the responses to the quiz questions and the activity questions maybe explained by Watson et al.’s [30] understanding from previous studies, where students tend toover-estimate their attitudes.We understand that these results are not to be generalized to all groups of environmentalengineering students. The demonstration was tested with a single cohort of students (n=31) fromthe Air-Quality Engineering course. To

With the commonly reported saturation of the environmentalengineering field in the 1980’s and 1990’s and the emergence of the information technologyboom, it seems that the baby boom generation represented the backbone of the professionalenvironmental engineering workforce during this time, with proportionally much lessrecruitment into the field as compared to other engineering disciplines. Although some of thesepredictions for the environmental engineering profession are quite speculative, the trend isapparent – there will be a significant demand for technically qualified Environmental Engineersover the next 10 to 20

The UStransportation sector, which is the movement of people and goods by cars, trucks, trains, ships,airplanes, and other vehicles, emitted 1,802 million metric tons of CO2 according to theEnvironmental Protection Agency; this is 27% of all GHG emissions in 2013.[5]Thus from an environmental perspective, pollution due to the burning of fossil fuels

Finally, the faculty was not in favor of eliminatinganother professional elective because it was felt that students should be able to select at leastthree courses that meet their professional needs. (The civil engineering curricula and descriptionof the courses can be found at http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/CEE.) The existing sophomore designcourse was selected instead of the junior or senior level design courses because of the desire tohave students who have gained “on-site” experience be available to mentor students thefollowing year(s) so that their expertise is not lost. Also, this will provide those students mostinterested in design for developing communities to be involved in a leadership role in subsequentprojects. In order for the
