(Professional & Educational Strategic Initiatives), Dr. Lenox is leading several educational and professional career-development projects for the civil engi- neering profession – with the overall objective of properly preparing individuals for their futures as civil engineers. A prime example is his long-term engagement in ASCE’s initiative to ”raise the bar” for entry into professional practice. Dr. Lenox received a Bachelor’s of Science degree from the United States Mil- itary Academy, Master’s of Science degree from Cornell University, Master’s of Business Administration degree from Long Island University, and a Ph.D. degree from Lehigh University.

For the aquaculture module, students built,tested, and analyzed their own aerator or used 3D modeling to develop a new impeller for anexisting pump to use in water circulation.
