Environmental Engineering Graduate Seminar

Carsyn Boggio, Undergraduate student in Environmental Engineering, MTU

Emily Dersch, Undergraduate student in Environmental Engineering, MTU

Lea Korsmeyer, Utility System Repairer Operator Leader, Isle Royale National Park

Prof. Eric Seagren, Faculty, MTU

Abstract:

The Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geospatial Engineering offers a minor in Water Resource Recovery Technology. The minor is designed for students in the environmental engineering undergraduate program at MTU who may be interested in working at a water resource recovery facility (WRRF). As part of the minor, participants intern at a WRRF. Through the internship, students gain the experience required to take and pass the Class D Certification exam and enter the work force as a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator. Dr. Seagren will describe the minor, and two students who interned at the water and wastewater treatment facilities operated as part of the Isle Royale National Park, Carsyn Boggio and Emily Dersch, will describe their experiences last summer. Finally, Lea Korsmeyer, Utility System Repairer/Operator/Leader on Isle Royale, will describe the internship opportunity available this coming summer on Isle Royale.
