ASME Environmental Engineering Division Selects Winners of its Education Support Program AwardsThe ASME Environmental Engineering Division (EED) has selected four recipients for its First Annual Education Support Program Awards. The program is designed to help foster the impact of environmental engineering and education in communities around the world, to help people identify and solve environmental problems, and thereby lead to improvements in their quality of life. The program can fund a maximum of $25,000 per year (no more than five proposals will be funded with a limit of $5,000 per award) to students, educators and EED members who propose interesting ways to impact environmental education in their communities.The Division received many outstanding proposals from the United States as well as several other counties. The Awards Committee, which is comp rised of ASME volunteers from the EED Executive Committee, reviewed the proposals meticulously before making their selections. The winners, who are both engineers and non-engineers, spanned the entire gamut of education from high school teachers to undergraduate/graduate students to professors.The four winning proposals chosen by the committee were Michael S. Czahor, outreach committee director, Wind Energy Student Organization, Iowa State University and Austin Herrema, Outreach Committee Ph.D. representative, Wind Energy Student Organization, Iowa State University Wind Energy Student Organization Megan Fuller, assistant professor of chemistry, Philadelphia University Lab component for Sustainability Course Michael Lazere, Project Lead the Way Engineering Program teacher, Marshalltown High School, Marshalltown, Iowa and fruchtmark Mba Wright, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, Iowa State University Using Interactive iPython Simulations to Model Life Cycle Analysis of Et hanol Production David A.
