ERTC, which is part of the SIUE School of Engineering, offers courses to those students who are interested in careers in water control management, as well as train plumbers and current water operators around the area who seek advanced degrees. Lewis and Clark Community College, located in nearby Grafton, offers similar courses of study.
Freshman Santos Reyes, an engineering major from Chicago, is excited to get a firsthand experience for the projects that will help out the environment, especially ones that are so close to school.
"The engineering aspect of this whole project is really interesting because this is something that is going to be seen a lot more in the future, and I'll be able to say that I was one of the first to see it here on campus," Reyes said.
Kim Bausch, an alumna from the engineering program who graduated in 2007 from SIUE, wishes she had the opportunity to be able to work hands on with a project like this.
"I think that this will be a great opportunity for students who not only are interested in water treatment and research, but engineering in general," Bausch said. ?
