Environmental Engineer:
Applied Research and Practice

The Academy's Publication Committee recognized the need for a peer-reviewed journal focusing on practical research and using case studies related to environmental engineering. The Academy Board concurred, and an Editorial Board was formed, and papers were solicited. Environmental Engineer: Applied Research and Practice was launched, commencing with the Winter 2007 issue of Environmental Engineer.

Many archival engineering journals emphasize fundamental research and view reports on successful engineering projects as inappropriate for peer reviewed publication. On the contrary, Environmental Engineer: Applied Research and Practice, encourages publication of useful reports and applied research with an emphasis on technical, real-world detail. Quality is ensured by peer review and by an Editorial Board of experienced practitioners and educators.

The Editorial Board encourages submission of papers focused on practical research and useful case studies related to environmental engineering. Practical "know-how" reports, interesting designs, and evaluations of engineering processes and systems are examples of appropriate topics. Manuscripts should follow the general requirements of the ASCE authors guide (http://www.pubs.asce.org/authors/index.html#1) and should be submitted electronically in WORD format to: C. Robert Baillod, Editor, Environmental Engineer: Applied Research and Practice, baillod@mtu.edu. The Editorial Board strives for prompt review and publication.
