Environmental Engineering: Assignment: You are to complete a research report on an environmental issue of your choice. Your goal is to learn more about an environmental issue we face today and explore the severity and extent of the issue’s effect on us and the environment. Once explored, you are to discuss what is currently being done to deal with the issue and to provide ideas and things that can (and should be done) to help reduce damage to help preserve human life and the environment. Expected length for the research report is 3 pages, singled spaced.

To prevent students from doing the same environmental issue, you will need approval on the topic you wish to research. Topics will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis (if multiple students wish to do the same topic). Complete the “Research Report Topic” assignment to submit your request for your research report topic. Once approved, you are ready to research and start your report.

Be sure to discuss the issue, its effects, and what should be done to resolve the issue and reduce or neutralize its effects. Cite your sources!

Research Report format: Each page must be typed in 12-point Times New Roman or similar typeface, 1” margins on all sides, singled-spaced. Please remember to correct misspellings and grammatical errors. In the center of the first page, place the title of your report (it should be named appropriately, related to the topic you are going to discuss), class title (TECH 454 – Environmental Engineering), your name, and the date. That will serve as a title page. Following the title page should be your report. The very last page of your report should have a list of references used. Each student is responsible for doing their own research report.
