Teamwork facilitation in engineering classes, where students must collaboratively develop a solution to complex, open-ended problems, is uniquely challenging. The role of the instructor extends from supporting students in the development of necessary technical knowledge and skills to helping teams figure out their collaborative workflow processes. Dr. Nies talks to us about his extensive teaching experience facilitating teamwork in large engineering classes – in person and online, provides reflections about the value of social bonding and trust building among team members, as well as practical advice on team formation, conflict resolution and student engagement in the learning process.Bio:Dr. Larry Nies is a professor at Purdue university with appointments in Civil Engineering and Environmental and Ecological Engineering. He has been teaching Sustainable Engineering courses at Purdue since founding them in 2002. He is a licensed Professional Engineer with research interests spanning across macro-scale human systems down to nano-scale molecular processes. More recently, he has been researching how to transform industrial and urban systems toward a sustainable trajectory, primarily through water and carbon footprint assessment.Dr. Nies has been recognized numerous times for his outstanding achievements in engineering teaching and counseling by various groups including Purdue University, the Society of Environmental and Ecological Engineering (SEEE), and the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists. Today our discussion is focused on his long running work to support engineering project teams in undergraduate classrooms.

Today we will talk about COVID-19 in the air, the water, and on surfaces with environmental engineer Chuck Haas.Charles N. Haas is the L.D.

Today's episode is a fascinating discussion with Professor Chris Higgins from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Colorado School of Mines U.S. Chris was visiting Australia in March 2020 to discuss work on a PFAS soil washing project being conducted in Adelaide SA. Chris was attending a project meeting to discuss this project at QHAES, Brisbane and this interview was conducted there on the 3/3/2020, just before everything started to get locked down because of Covid-19. I am very glad I got the chance to talk with Professor Chris Higgins about PFAS because his chemistry background plus his extensive knowledge of PFAS chemicals produced a very informative and interesting discussion. It is an episode that you do not want to miss if you want to understand the behaviour of this complex group of chemicals known as PFAS. Chris said " I have certainly described this as what I think is a major challenge for my generation of environmental engineers. We are going to be dealing with this for a long time to come."

Episode 5 of PETRI DISH! This episode is a prequel of sorts to our upcoming 2 part series on CLIMATE CHANGE (oh no!). In this episode, Sean tries to discuss ECOSYSTEM ENGINEERS with Nathan, who keeps calling these critters Environmental Engineers, which is 50% right. He seriously did it multiple times, just couldn't say ecological.Anyway, what's up with these engineer guys? They're animals (including humans!) that shape, maintain, and even destroy ecosystems on a big enough scale to impact the world around them -- changing the landscape, the plants, and the kinds/number of species that live around them. Listen as we talk about megaherbivores like the Elephant, smaller dudes like beavers, even smaller dudes like termites, and then wrap it up with some navel gazing about humans!Email us questions or comments about episodes at petridishpod -at- gmail.com.

Joy Marsalla earned a master’s degree inEnvironmental Engineering degree from Arizona State and is a sustainable Chemicals Manager at Nike. [1:05] Why Joy chose more of an industrial route vs a remediation route with her Environmental Engineering Degree. She had no idea that a company like Intel, or any big company, had a need for Environmental Engineers. [2:50] Some things Joy did not like about the remediation side of the business – She was not real keen on the consulting side, the upfront business process. She wanted to be more technical. [4:30] She explains what she does today. [5:22] Goes into the Master vs a Bachelor’s degree – the route you want to take will dictate whether a master’s degree is needed. [7:20] Describes what a day might look like – no typical day, but always working with people on day to day basis many that don’t have an environmental degrees. [8:55] One thing that we don’t know – Big companies, when you make a small change there – it can have big changes/impact. [10:40] What has Joy fired – inspired by the movement around awareness for environmental needs around the world. [11:40] Turning an Ah-ha moment into success – sometimes people connect with your story vs you being right – people care about the why, why people should care. [14:34] Getting through college – it is important to socialize and build relationships and learn what their story is. If interested you can connect with Joy on linked in Joy Marsalla.

Tracy Fanara (Dr. Tre) PHD in Environmental Engineering and star of Mythbusters the Search talks about what Environmental Engineers do and insights into being successful. Inspector Planet A BS in Environmental/Civil as all that is required to get a job after graduation and believes if you go the non-engineering route, you need at least a masters. At most schools now Environmental and Civil engineering are combined as there is a lot of crossover and as far as a typical workday for a research scientist, well there is non which keeps the job exciting! She recommends that you allow yourself a path and journey through college and always follow your passion and be creative with it. Tracy likes the engineering route as the classes teach you how to finish the challenging classes and is definitely worth it to spend nights studying, the classes can be very difficult! Some advice is to never hesitate to ask questions and very key for your first job; intern, co-op, full time is that perception is reality.
