Mrs. Haniff:

I appreciate your offer to mail a package concerning courses in Civil and Environmental Engineering. The due date for the project is this Friday (Feb. 25th), so unfortunately the time is not sufficient for us to receive your package on time.

However you can fax your information to the following number: (904) 226-0332.  One of the rules for the ISTF competition indicates that all the information we need has to be received digitally. Or, you could e-mail comments to the following questions about your department's 5-year program.

Could you give us a short one sentence description of the following courses and tell us how many of them could be included in a student's undergraduate program?

(ENV 5071) Envr AnlysTransp Sys
(ENV 4531) Wastewtr TreatmentProcess
(ENV 4562) Env Engr Systems Design
(ENV 5505) Sludge Mgmt Ops
(ENV 6046) Membrane Mass Trnsfr,
(TTE 4004) Transport Engr,
(EGN 3331) Mechanics of Matls,
(EGN 3704) Engr and the Envr,
(CES 4100) Struct Analysis I,
(CES 6170) Bndry Elem Civ Engr,
(CGN 3501) Civil Engr Matls,

Good Morning Ms. Colwell:

My name is Margarida and I am the Undergraduate Secretary for Civil and Environmental Engineering.  Dr. Radwan forward a copy of your e-mail to me.  I'm in the middle of putting a package together but I don't have a phsical address.  If you could e-mail this information to me, I will mail it to you.

Thank you and I hope this info. helps!

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
