The goal of this project is to provide unique educational opportunities for the next generation of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (stem) on emerging topics in the field of environmental engineering and science.activities:the specific objective is to provide unique CO-mentored research experiences to ten university students (graduate and undergraduate) per year over five years. This experience will advance the trainee careers and increase the number and preparedness of environmental scientists entering the workforce.subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:deliverables include annual and final reports. Additional outputs include scientific and technical publications. Additionally, dissertations, symposium presentations, and publications in conference proceedings and refereed journals will be produced that fulfill the requirements for undergraduate and graduate degrees. Expected outcomes include increasing the number and diversity of trained environmental scientists and engineers who can productively contribute to solving contemporary environmental problems. Direct beneficiaries of this program include the trainees (program participants) and the general public by growing the environmental scientist workforce.
