 Students
from Clemson University’s department of environmental engineering
and science competed among 33 teams from the U.S., Canada and China
at the 15th Annual Environmental Design Contest held April 3-7 at
New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM.
The competition, sponsored by WERC: A Consortium
for Environmental Education and Technology Development, challenges
student teams to develop solutions for real-world environmental
problems that have been submitted by various companies and government
institutions.
Clemson University students won first-place for developing a cost-effective,
energy-efficient method to remove arsenic and nitrate from drinking
water in rural, isolated communities.
