The Water Environmental Technology program offers an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree for those pursuing a career in the area of water/wastewater management. These innovative programs offer students the real world experience in the environmental field of the instructors with new advances in Internet supported education. Students may now take the core courses in water/wastewater via the Internet, accompanied by a monthly "drop-in lab" providing students the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the instructor. The degree is two years of technical study in water/wastewater procedures, complemented by math, science, social sciences, and humanities classes, and an internship or work experience. The Water Environmental Technology program comes to you, where you are, instead of you having to come to the campus. Utilizing the Environmental Technology Online (www.et-online.org) classes that have been developed by the Hazardous Materials Training and Research Institute (HMTRI), this new approach to learning blends the nationally acclaimed Ken Kerri/Sacramento series with the latest Internet technology to develop a user-friendly education system. The water/wastewater courses consist of Basic Water Treatment, Water Distribution Systems, Water Analysis, Basic Wastewater Treatment, Wastewater Collection Systems, Wastewater Analysis, BioSolids Management, Industrial Wastewater Treatment, and an Internship/Work Experience. Now you can set your own schedule to take the classes online, over the ICN, with CDs or standard correspondence classes. The A.A.S. curriculum includes additional technical courses that help prepare students for management positions in water/wastewater operations. An A.A.S. degree is also an excellent beginning for students who want to continue at a four-year college or university in the environment or engineering. Students of this program enjoy
the extra benefits of having an office of Hazardous Materials Training
and Research Institute located at the Environmental Training Center. HMTRI
has long been a national leader in environmental health and safety training
to meet federal and state regulations. Try a sample of the online courses
