Environmental Engineering -focuses on how today's scientists can better treat waste and pollution in the air, water, and soil. - latest technologies used in the design of collection and treatment processes. -concepts underlying biological, physical, and chemical treatment, preparing students to design and lead projects in real-world settings. Environmental Engineering and Science -focuses on how physics, chemistry, biology, and geology play a role in today's most pressing environmental challenges. -fundamentals of engineering and natural sciences. - methods for treating and responding to modern environmental threats. Environmental Planning and Management -focuses on leadership roles in a world undergoing rapid ecological transformation. -how environmental engineering and science affect real-world outcomes in public policy, decision-making, and the economy. -factors like modern technology, social constraints, and the availability of financial resources. - plan, execute, and evaluate the most complex environmental projects of our time.

by S. Tabon Electronic waste or e waste includes discarded electrical or electronic devices. The e waste includes discarded computer, office electronic equipment, entertainment device electronics, mobile phones, television sets, and refrigerators ( Ohio EPA, n.d.). In a school facility, e waste (Department of Facilities, n.d.) considered are monitors, CPUs, televisions, prints, copiers, and the components likes mouse, keyboard, speakers, and the rest. A personal computer consists of disk drives, power supply and processor. It may have other components like sound and video cards, and internal modem. The monitor and keyboard form part of the computer. An entire computer can be subject to recycling. Not all companies are equally equipped though to recycle such parts as monitor which may contain quantities of lead and other hazardous components like barium. If the computer and its monitor are not tested to prove that these are nonhazardous, the computer and its parts must be assumed to be hazardous. As such their disposal is limited to permitted hazardous waste facility. Ohio (Ohio EPA, n.d.) considers discarded integrated circuits from computer systems as scrap metals. These discarded items are not considered hazardous. They are reclaimed or recycled. Some of the discarded components are reused. A startling forecast (United Nations University, 2013) on e waste was made by Solving the E-waste Problem (StEP) Initiative, a partnership of UN, industry, government, non government, and science organizations. This effort came up with online StEP map which shows graphically the amount of electrical and electronic equipment put in the market and the amount of global e waste condition. With the forecast, it is expected that initiatives will surface on planning e waste management. Reference Department of Facilities. (n.d.).
