Dear Ms. Colwell:



I am pleased to receive this request concerning the Environmental Engineering

Program in our department. The program is as old as the university itself and

it is the first program that received accreditation in the US by the

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.



To answer your first questions, we see no problems in citing our program in

your announcements and using information available on the web as you see fit.

We do not have a Logo for the CEE Department, however the College of

Engineering has one and the University too. As for courses related to

environmental restoration, I am copying Dr. Chopra and Ms. Haniff to put

together a package and send it to your attention.



Good luck with your project.



Best regards.

Project at Mainland High School, Daytona Beach, FL



I am the sponsor of a group of students who want to develop a technological

project about alternative biomass fuels. Our project is part of a competition

sponsored by UCF, entitled ISTF. (http://istf.ucf.edu) The Internet Science

and Technology Fair (ISTF) is a real world science program designed to

encourage teams of middle and high school students and their teachers to

explore Internet information resources and collaborate via e-mail with

scientists and engineers. Together, they develop Project Homepages which

focus on National Critical Technologies vital to our nations economy and

security. 



We chose Environmental Quality as our National Critical Technology Standard

(http://istf.ucf.edu/How/Step by Step Guide/Step2/) in the technological area

of 'pollution,' the sub-area of 'waste management' specifically

biomass fuels. In addition to conducting background research, we are required

to develop a technological advancement (http://istf.ucf.edu/How/Step by Step

Guide/Step4/High School/) that will help to promote advances in our chosen

area. 



Component 3 of the project is to show two undergraduate or graduate degree

programs that will support this field of work. Once we locate such programs,

we link the college or university web page to our web site. Please view our

education page from our first place project last year, Turtle Lights, 

http://mainland.cctt.org/istf . 

Our first request is for permission to use your Civil and Environmental 

Engineering deparatment logo on our web site. In searching the Internet, we 

came across

your program and would like to use it as the basis for a model to create a

future program for students interested in future employment in biomass

technologies. Our second request is for information about the classes that

make up the Environmental and Natural Resources Engineering program. 

Specifically, we would like to know if you offer classes that contain

curriculum covering methane and municipal sewage plant treatment. We would

then use course description information to supplement the education component

of our project.





Thank-you, 

Cathy Colwell
