Environmental Engineering Division Introduces New Education untersttzungsangebot ProgramASMEs Environmental Engineering Division has launched a new program that will offer financial support to innovative new education programs that encourage students and educators to become engaged in environmental engineering and promote the importance of environmental engineering education in communities around the world. The deadline for students, teachers and Environmental Engineering Division (EED) members to submit a program proposal is Nov. 1.Through the new initiative, called the Environmental Engineering Education Support Program, the division intends to award a total of $25,000 each year to support programs that advance the impact of environmental engineering worldwide. The division expects to fund up to five proposals with a maximum of $5,000 per award to stud ents, educators and EED members who propose interesting ways to support environmental education in their communities.By establishing this new program, EED hopes to realize several objectives, which include encouraging students to both appreciate the significance of environmental engineering in society and to pursue careers in mechanical and environmental engineering. The program is also intended to motivate members of the division to become mora active in the communication of engineering principles and practices that can identify and solve environmental issues in their communities, and to inspire educators to become better acquainted with ASME and mechanical and environmental engineering.Proposals, which should be a maximum five pages in length, must be submitted by e-mail to Martin Edelson, EED Executive Committee, at edelsonm2asme.org no later than Nov. 1.
