hydrogen sulfide. Effluents of wastewater can become a source of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution. Wastewater contains nitrogen and phosphorus from human waste, food, soaps and detergents. Some wastewater treatment plant are unable to remove more nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater, so it will cause pollution when the treated wastewater returned back to the environment. In conclusion, wastewater treatment is essential for living things. Wastewater must be treated before it discharge back to the environment. Although this wastewater treatment plant is very important but it does pose some safety and health issues to the workers and environmental issues to the environment. The wastewater treatment plant workers are exposed to many hazardous, thus the health and safety of them should be care intensively and properly by using administrative control, engineering control and personal protective equipment. The personal hygiene also an important parameter to ensure the workers have the low possibility to get infection.…

gets taken by the storm water into our sewers and streams. If the city officials were to work on cleaning up and take care of these areas more it not only will help to clean our streets but our water as well. Also, cleaner neighborhoods lead to happier people, less drugs and more kids graduating from schools. Educating more people and creating events in neighborhoods such as these could help inform people how important it is that we stop the pollution and work on not taking what we have for…

What if there was an up and coming innovation that could save the world? Would you support it? Well there is such a thing. It has been around for a few years, but only now does it have the potential to do good on a worldwide scale. This innovation is called algae biofuel. Algae biofuel is a fuel just like gasoline or diesel, but instead of being mined from the ground causing irreparable damage, it is grown in a pond and actually has positive side effects on the environment. Algae Biomass…

“We do not own the earth; we borrow it from our children.” I believe this Cherokee saying that I received from an interview with the University of Tennessee 's Dr. Gregory D. Moore truly stands for what an environmental engineer is, yet it does not completely sum up what exactly one is. An environmental engineer is a paid and educated worker for the world who works full-time in multiple environments in order to receive the benefits of protecting the planet for others (Bureau of Labor…

Main Article Summary Agricultural and biological engineering are a very misunderstood concept. People around the world refuse to take the time to slow down and decipher just how important agricultural and biological engineering is to the progressing world. Many individuals do not take into consideration what the true meaning of agricultural and biological engineering is. Typically, it is confused with biomedical engineering, which is the tissue and prosthetic side. Many think that biological…

I would like to attend the 2016 STEM summer camp because I am serious about STEM. Since the age of five it has been enjoyable for me to build, invent, and solve problems. All of these things have contributed to my love of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. I wish to become an engineer when I grow up and go to M.I.T. I believe that this camp will open my eyes to the different types of engineering opportunities. I am very excited about STEM and going to your summer camp will…

as an FEA and stress analysis responsible for design and engineering of the de-oiling units, but soon I got promoted to a senior mechanical engineer that became involved in different aspects of project execution, such as clients relationship, fabrication supervision, quality control, R&D and commissioning/start up support. In the last two years, due to the financial turmoil in the oil and gas market, I have been involved in budgeting and costing of our product lines, with the aim of optimizing…

My interest was piqued when I learned of the depth and breadth of Tufts’ engineering program. With the opportunity of earning credit for a civil engineering internship, multiple specialized research labs, and courses spanning public health engineering to the legal issues of engineering and environmental law, the engineering community on campus seemed unique to me in its values of extending engineering past the math and science learning aspects to community involvement and real-life applications.…

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is my top choice school for many reasons, one being the sophisticated engineering program that is offered. Not only is UW Madison’s College of Engineering among the top engineering programs offered in the nation, it also offers many research opportunities. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is renowned for its wide range of research opportunities and its focus on research, which reflects the mission statement of the UW Madison College of Engineering, which…

The value in setting goals is finding the courage and commitment to achieve them. I have dedicated countless hours to my challenging coursework in hopes of achieving my goal of earning a Bachelors in Chemical Engineering. Hundreds of other hours have been put into church and clubs that I hope I will continue to participate in. Especially, since those programs helped me grow as a person while helping others. I push myself to work to my best in hopes that; ultimately, I will find a satisfying and…
