Program: A Basic Introduction to Environmental Engineering for Non-Environmental Engineers
As professional engineers it is often expected that we are familiar with many technical areas that are beyond the scope of our primary discipline of engineering. In an era where engineering education is becoming increasingly specialized, it is inherent in our responsibilities as professional to understand enough about related areas of engineering to work in a multi-disciplinary project.
In this seminar, we will briefly cover the history and basics of how the various regulatory agencies implement and enforce environmental laws and regulation. We will cover the basics of several common environmental regulations that are likely to be encountered on a typical design project, and discuss key implications these regulations may have on project design and schedule, including construction and post-construction stormwater management requirements, National Environmental Policy Act coordination, all appropriate inquiry, wetlands and air permitting. Finally we will discuss some current local environmental hot topics, including horizontal fracing, climate change and toxic algae.
