Delaware Valley A&WMA College Student Environmental Challenge Competition Opens
|
|
The Delaware Valley Chapter of the Air & Waste Management Association is once again sponsoring its annual Environmental Challenge for college students.
The Environmental Challenge is a student team competition modeled after the national A&WMA competition in which a “real-life” challenge is posed to students which requires consideration of current environmental issues, and is representative of the environmental challenges in the Delaware Valley (Delaware, Pennsylvania & New Jersey) region, and requires a multi-disciplinary solution.
The challenge seeks technical answers combined with appropriate regulatory approaches and resolution of political and community issues.
The student teams are each given a complex “true-to-life” environmental problem to evaluate and solve. Each team crafts a solution to the environmental problem, then develops a presentation of their solution. The solutions are presented at the Chapter's Annual Scholarship and Awards Dinner in April.
Student teams with the broadest feasible range of environmental disciplines, including engineering, planning, policy, economics, and various other sciences will be accepted to compete at the Chapter's Annual Scholarship and Awards Dinner. Teams must have at least two, but no more than five students.
Students interested in participating on a team, professionals willing to serve as advisors/mentors and judges and university faculty willing to serve as sponsors should email the AWMA contact, Liz Kamali at elizabeth.kamali@merck.com by February 11.
