Abstract:
The purpose of this report is to review current industry needs related to the field of water and
wastewater treatment technology. This report is intended to assist the Emerging Technologies
Environmental Science Consortium in planning and evaluating future programs related to water
and wastewater treatment technology. The Consortium was created by Oakland Community
College (OCC) and Schoolcraft College, who jointly submitted a grant proposal to the Michigan
Department of Education (MDE) for developing an Environmental Science/Studies curriculum.
The MDE approved grant funding from the Emerging Technologies Fund. In addition, the
MDE sent a letter to all community colleges in Michigan informing them of the Consortium and
inviting them to join the Consortium (Appendix B). On September 29, 1992 the Consortium
held its first meeting at which time it was decided to study water and wastewater treatment
technology.
