LEED Green Associate Sustainability Training – April 25th or 26th
Interested
in getting involved in the Green Building Industry? Opportunities are
plentiful in the field of sustainable design and LEED is at its
forefront.
LEED
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is simply a
green-rating point system, or a scorecard. The more energy efficient and
sustainable
a building is, the more points it will earn. To date, over 1000
students have taken this course and they have all subsequently passed
their respective exam. This course is offered at a quarter of the price
and time as the competition and is geared at allowing
students to graduate with letters after their name!
Just as Buildings can be LEED certified, people in the sustainable construction industry can become LEED Professionals.
WAPPA and the Department of Civil Engineering are
partnering up with LeadingGreen to bring LEED Training to your school! The LEED Green Associate (GA)
credential is the only entry level sustainability designation and shows
employers and clients that you have certified knowledge in the green
building
industry.
LEED Green Associate (GA) Exam Prep

realistic mock exams and professional study guide is $250 ($200 for
full-time students). The actual fee for writing the exam is governed by
the GBCI and is $200 (www.gbci.org for more information). This course
meets the eligibility requirements to write the GA exam. It is
worthwhile to keep in mind that similar courses offered
by other organizations cost $700+ (without exam fees).

ME 499 Project Looking for EEs
Personal Exposure Monitor for Assessment of Aerosol Exposure of Asthmatic Children
Asthma
is a disease which affects millions of people worldwide. Many of those
affected are children, causing a great deal of stress for their parents
and caretakers. In recent years, medical professionals have been able to
discover more about the causes of asthma, but much is still unknown. Of
particular interest to researchers is the role the environment plays in
causing asthma attacks. A team of electrical and mechanical engineering
students will design and build small monitoring devises used in the
epidemiological studies for assessment of personal exposure to
biological aerosols. The design will integrate electrical and mechanical
components needed for operation of a small pump and data acquisition.
