Some 20 engineering majors are currently studying water and wastewater engineering, hazardous site remediation, solid and hazardous waste management, and environmental law and regulatory analysis. As with the other CSM undergraduate programs, the students are required to participate in a summer field session.

"It is in the Mines tradition to have a rigorous and enriching field camp experience," explained ESE Division Director Dr. Plufippe Ross . "The Division of Engineering and the Environmental Science and Engineering Division are continuing this tradition in our new engineering track."

So this summer, for the first time, a three-week session introduced environmental engineering track students to laboratory and field skills used in the characterization and remediation of environmental problems. Students spent the first week on campus, refreshing their basic laboratory skills and developing analysis and monitoring techniques.

The CU Mountain Research Station near Nederland, Colo., was the site of the second week's activities, where the students conducted on-site environmental characterizations, including an assessment of the facility's wastewater treatment system.

Immediately after arriving at the Research Station, the team of professors, a graduate assistant and students hiked for four hours to survey the study area using Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment to supplement pubfished map data. The additional information provided the students with a more quantitative picture of the area and its features.

Over the week, the students performed a number of activities connected with their field project, including setting up a weather station and monitoruig meteorology data, analyzing samples from the station's wastewater treatment lagoon, and sampling stream
