The Academy needs a member to volunteer to start and lead a new committee: K-12 Education. This committee is important to the Academy because of our basic educational mission and the need for environmental engineers in today's world. AAEE members who are employers of new environmental engineering graduates are competing for the few students who are graduating. The committee's goals are:
  • To provide information to students in K-12 programs about the satisfaction of environmental engineering careers.
  • Encourage college students to matriculate in Environmental Engineering through preparation of educational printed and web based materials and availability of speakers. If you are interested, please contact Larry Pencak, the Executive Director at LPencak@aaee.net.
