This lesson will allow students to explore an important role of environmental engineers: cleaning the environment. Students will learn details about the Exxon Valdez oil spill, which was one of the most publicized and studied environmental tragedies in history. In the accompanying activity, they will try many "engineered" strategies to clean up their own manufactured oil spill and learn the difficulties of dealing with oil released into our waters.
This hands-on experiment will provide students with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup. Students will create their own oil spill, try different methods for cleaning it up, and then discuss the merits of each method in terms of effectiveness (cleanliness) and cost. They will be asked to put themselves in the place of both an environmental engineer and an oil company owner who are responsible for the clean-up.
This course is offered to graduates and addresses issues regarding ultrafast optics. Topics covered include: generation and propagation of ultrashort pulses (nano-, pico-, femto-, attosecond pulses) and linear and non-linear effects. Applications of the topic vary and include high precision measurements, nonlinear optics, optical signal processing, optical communications, and x-ray generation.
