1992-1993 Water and Wastewater Treatment Technology Needs Assessment

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.
