Since 2006, rather than solely bringing in a variety of guest speakers tothe class, students also work on projects to illustrate types of work done by environmentalengineers. By nature, the projects cannot be too technical or involved since the background ofthe students is minimal. The fifteen 50-minute class periods is the course also limits the scope ofwhat can be done and expected from the students.The first year 1-credit Introduction to Environmental
