Seminar Series

About the Seminar Series

Students in the Environmental Engineering graduate program in the three departments hold joint seminar sessions once in each of the Fall and Winter terms. These seminar sessions are part of the requirements for the degree programs and serve as an important vehicle for technical communication within the institute. They also present an opportunity to inform the environmental engineering community in Ottawa about the current research activities of students and faculty in the Institute. A Best Presentation Award is presented at each seminar series.
