Engineering
development for humanity
Michigan
Tech created
the Enterprise Program to allow students a unique curriculum path
for developing and practicing technical and business skills in a
multidisciplinary setting where an emphasis is placed on projects
and business. Aqua Terra Tech (ATT) like all other enterprises is
managed by the students, with Prof. John Gierke serving as advisor
and mentor. We are now working on two NSF funded projects. One is
to develop interest in the environmental sciences in high school
students while the other is to find a clean source of drinking water
for the city of Boaco, Nicaragua. Along with these active projects,
the members of the enterprise are actively pursuing several technical
opportunities with funding agencies, consulting firms, and industries.
To date more than 50 students in geological, environmental and civil
engineering have participated.
