Environmental Engineering Project Ideas

Are you concerned about global warming and greenhouse gases? Here's a project that shows how hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Compare your own car's greenhouse gas emissions to hybrid cars using online data from PG&E and Google.org's RechargeIT project.   Read more...

If you're interested in arts and crafts, you might like this project. It uses several alternative, renewable sources of fiber to make paper, and compares the resulting papers for strength and writing quality.   Read more...

Has your house (or one of your friend's houses) been remodeled recently? Were any improvements made for energy efficiency (solar systems, better insulation, passive solar heating, better lighting)?...   Read more...

Is there a public park, playground, or beach near you that suffers from a litter problem? Here is a way that you can do something about it! First, get a measure of the size of the problem by...   Read more...

Here is a cool project about making fresh water from salt water using solar power. The apparatus is made from readily available materials, and the power source is free. How much water can the device produce, and by how much is the salt concentration reduced? Can you figure out ways to make the collection efficiency even higher? This is a great project for inventive thinkers.   Read more...

Reclaimed (treated) wastewater can be used for many purposes, including landscape watering and freeing up valuable fresh water for other purposes (like drinking water). It's a great way to conserve...   Read more...

Did you know that you can use more water on your lawn and garden in the summer than you use for all other purposes all year long? If you have an automated sprinkler system for your lawn and/or garden, this project could save money on your family's monthly water bill. You'll also be helping to conserve a precious natural resource: clean water.   Read more...

When pesticides are applied to protect crops, run-off of potentially harmful pesticides is a major problem. Can water plants such as hardstem bulrush, common cattail, parrotfeather and smooth...   Read more...
