In many cases, engineering students approach discussionsaround their career interest as a generalized interest in helping people, society or to improve theworld, with expertise in math and science as the resource they draw from. Some know thesubject they want to address, such as improving the environment through renewable energy.Some just know they want to help people live a better life through technology. Yet, oftentimesthe typical 18-year-old college student is lacking in experience, global awareness, and a sense oftheir own identity. Tobolowsky (2008) states it is critical that students become more self-aware,develop a sense of purpose and life direction that informs both

The course focused on the fundamentals of transport and fateprocesses in air, soil, and water as well as on treatment strategies and technologies. The classwas offered for the first time in spring of 2020, meeting three times per week (MWF) for thetwelve-week session. It is one of two classes exclusive to the environmental engineeringconcentration. The course objectives are to: - Classify hazardous wastes based on makeup, toxicity, and regulation status. - Assess sites containing hazardous waste following federal and state guidelines. - Identify transport and fate processes affecting contaminant presence and
