The four-month, evening training course
is designed to be the "boot camp" for the environmental field.
The course provides technical training for those scientists, engineers
and others wishing to establish or improve technical skills in:
- Environmental
Regulations
- Site
Characterizations
- Investigations
- Clean-up
Programs
The course was
designed for individuals who have decided on a career change and
are "refugees" from the oil & gas industry, aerospace industry
and other industries experiencing corporate downsizing and reorganization.
Other highly-motivated individuals have gained substantially from
this course; a college education is a suggested prerequisite.
Almost 400 men
and women have graduated from the program, most of whom have improved
their positions or have found employment in the environmental field,
even under the present uncertainties in Washington, D.C., concerning
the environment.
Topics include:
Environmental Laws & Regulations
Health &d Safety Strategies & Requirements
Environmental Chemistry & Geochemistry
Site Characterizations & Investigations
Geologic Sampling Protocols, Techniques & Methods
Hydrogeology, Aquifer Testing & Modeling
Contaminant Transport & Modeling
Remediation Case Histories
Risk Assessment & Clean-up Criteria
Conceptual Engineering & Methods
Remediation Engineering & Innovative Technologies
Project Management, Placement Review & Interview Preparation
and Other Topics...
Advanced courses
are designed for graduates of the IET program and for members of
the local Houston environmental community. The courses concentrate
on topics introduced in the Environmental Technology course. They
will be offered in three- to five-day evening formats with Saturday
and Sunday being considered for special "Weekend Training Courses."
