Previous research topics have spannednumerous and varied topic areas, including bioremediation, dredging technologies, coralreefs/reef restoration and oil spill cleanup technology. Students generally learn a great dealabout a topic that interests them, and frequently comment that they were able to betterappreciate many of the principles and issues covered within the course through their researchproject.3.2 Ocean Environmental Engineering IIThis course provides the student with a basic understanding of the environmental, economic

Specifically, the time has arrivedto require students to have exposure to management topics such as entrepreneurship, financialmanagement, and global economics. If the civil engineering industry desires to evolve into anew economy business, then it will require individuals who are as comfortable with the financialand technology components of the business as they are with design or constructionfundamentals.I.

Additionally, fuel cell technology can also greatly decreasethe release of pollutants during energy conversion. This promising new technology hascreated a demand from chemical engineering students for more information and practicalexperience.

Today the proliferation of low-cost, high-speed computingdevices offer opportunities for design and control of systems with varying levels of complexity.What this means in practice is that engineers increasingly need expert knowledge of variouscomputer systems and software. Computing expertise once considered arcane must now becomecommonplace.

Unfortunately, most students will not be exposed to the field of engineering unlessthey are involved in an upper level physics or technology class. Since algebra is a requiredcourse in many states, this presents a most inviting field in which to plant the seeds ofengineering. While algebra provides an opportunity to plant the seed of engineering in allstudents, it seems logical that this same seed can be encouraged to grow through engineeringexamples in geometry, trigonometry, and other upper level mathematics courses.The goal of this project
