The Academy recognizes the impact that COVID has had on all of us, our families, our jobs, and professional development. Many Academy members have faced significant problems in satisfying PDH requirements for both the Academy and professional licensing. For this reason, the Academy will reduce the PDH requirement for 2020 from the normal 40 hours over a two year period to 20 hours over a two year period. This will apply only to renewal for 2021.
Our non-profit partner, the Environmental Engineering and Science Foundation, is offering six scholarships to students majoring in Environmental Engineering and Environmental Science. One of the biggest challenges is making students aware of the availability of financial assistance. Each of us knows a professor or can contact a financial aid office at our alma mater or a local university or community college. You may even know a deserving student! Please take a minute to make contact with a colleague who could direct students to this scholarship program.
The best source of information is the EESF website: https://www.eesfoundation.org/scholarship/.
The 2021 Kappe Lecturer is Dr. David A. Dzombak, P.E., BCEE, DWRE, the Hamerschlag University Professor and Heal of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. He will be visiting university campuses during the 2021 fall semester. The objective of the Kappe Lecture Series is to share the knowledge of today's practitioners with tomorrow's engineers and scientists. Click here for more information.

2021 Commentary on the ABET Program Criteria for Environmental Engineering Programs
The "Commentary" posted here is intended for public dissemination on behalf of the Academy's Education Committee. The document is primarily intended to:
- assist AAEES/ABET program evaluators in applying the Environmental Engineering program criteria, and
- assist Environmental Engineering program administrators in preparing for ABET visits.
This document is maintained and reviewed for update annually by the Education Committee.
A second purpose of this document is to inform the Academy membership of the work that ABET and the Academy are collaborating on to maintain and update the standards that college and university environmental engineering programs must meet when seeking accreditation from ABET.
