Environmental Engineering Solutions for Pollution Prevention

Applications are now being accepted for the Summer 2016 Environmental Engineering Solutions for Pollution Prevention (EESPP) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) at the State University of New York at Buffalo.

The EESPP-REU, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, provides the opportunity for undergraduate students to conduct faculty-mentored, laboratory-based research on a diverse array of projects related to air and water pollution prevention.

The program includes weekly group meetings to share research progress, and culminates with a symposium where students present research findings in oral and poster formats. Additional funding is available for REU participants to attend national conferences to present their research. To network with faculty and peers, students attend fieldtrips throughout western New York and the lower Great Lakes region.

All eligible students interested in environmental/civil/chemical engineering, biology, chemistry, geology, or geography are encouraged to submit an online application.

Spring 2016: A History of Civic Infrastructure (ARCH 498D / CEE 298 B)

This course will explore design, construction and impact of large-scale infrastructure projects in the United States, from the 1800s to the present day. From the surveying the American west, to the construction of railroads and canals, to the municipal systems which gave rise to urban density and skyscrapers, the United States (and Seattle in particular) has been uniquely impacted by the agency of engineers, architects, and builders to alter the given landscape. At the time, these projects were done in the name of many different social, political, racial, economic and civic agendas – ones that are due for critical reflection in the 21st century. As infrastructure projects continue into the present day, these reflections are vital for young professionals who seek to engage/ change the course of development into the future.

Course offered Spring 2016, Tuesday/ Thursday, 3:00 – 4:20pm, Smith Hall 405. W Credit available.

Bellevue Utilities Engineering Internships

There are currently two open engineering intern positions with Bellevue Utilities. urlOne position will focus on asset management, and the other will focus on water & sewer system planning and hydraulics. Either position could also support efforts related to utility system expansion or relocation to accommodate development or transportation projects. The asset management program ensures that existing infrastructure is maintained, repaired, and replaced in the most cost effective manner. Water & sewer system capacity is analyzed to ensure that future growth can be accommodated. Either position may require fieldwork to collect water, sewer and/or storm drainage facility data.
