Hello ENST Majors!
We were absolutely thrilled so many of you showed up to our Interest Meeting last Monday. If you were not able to make it or are interested in learning more about our club, opportunities, and projects, we welcome you to attend our next AEES meeting on October 4th from 6pm - 7pm in ANS 0422!
For those of you who are unfamiliar, the UMD Chapter of the American Ecological Engineering Society (AEES) is an interdisciplinary club dedicated to spreading awareness about the benefits of ecological engineering as it relates to sustainability through service based activities, student driven projects, and career-building workshops. Ecological engineering is a relatively new field that focusing on developing innovative ways to combine human society with the natural environment for the benefit of both. We welcome all majors and have a role for everyone including those interested in engineering, design, policy, communication, eco-tech, environmental science, computer science, and much more!
It is our goal to provide students at UMD with the guidance, resources, and connections to design, experiment, and build their own projects right here on campus. Currently, we have three major ongoing projects including the construction of a Green Wall, an Algal Terf Scrubber, a Green Bus Stop, and the restoration of Campus Creek. We are always welcome to the introduction of new projects as well!
We hope to see you at our next meeting! If you have any questions, feel free to email us at umd.aees@gmail.com. We can’t wait to meet you!
