Students enrolled in the October after school program will learn about careers in Environmental Engineering. Students will focus on a different career pathway each week of this month long after school program and will investigate the following:
- With time, size, and budget in mind, students will work in teams to design and build a levee that will (hopefully) protect their city. They will become true environmental engineers.
- Students will explore the different surface temperatures and water movements of landcover types (grass, pavement, etc.), then use that knowledge to build their own model to teach others.
- By playing the role of a chemical engineer, we will measure the power of a fermentation fuelcell using a multimeter. Students will ready solutions, build the cell, and ultimately measure the power they can produce.
- Working as hydroelectric engineers, students will harness the energy of water by building their own water wheels. In this friendly competition, students will work to produce the most rotations per minute (RPM) from water falling on their wheels.
