Ecological Engineering
July 7 - July 12
Participants in the Ecological Engineering Summer Camp Program will learn about engineering design used to improve water and air quality and enhance the sustainability of our natural resources. Participants will experience several facets of environmental and ecological engineering, including measuring the impacts of storm water treatment practices, assessing stream health and examining water flow through natural and man-made systems. This workshop includes a mix of indoor instruction and outdoor field experiences. Students should be ready to get wet and muddy tromping around in wetlands and streams! Like all fields of engineering, there are computer-aided aspects to ecological engineering. Students will learn and apply design and analysis skills.
