Engineering & Technology for a Sustainable World


MAY 1998 - VOL. 5 NO. 5

Features

Tribal Colleges
Twenty nine U.S. colleges and universities controlled by Native Americans, mainly on reservations, were awarded "land-grant" status by the USDA in 1994. Agriculture-related programs at these schools could be the key to increasing enrollment.

When the Wind Blows
A new wind tunnel facility in England tests how pesticide reacts when sprayed during windy conditions.

Earth-Friendly Wrappers
Films made of soy and corn protein are a potential food packaging material that would produce less waste than traditional methods.

Discharge vs. Irrigation
Irrigating with treated wastewater could benefit golf courses, parks, plant nurseries, woodlots and farm fields.

Last Word (reader opinion) - The Push for a National Policy
The International Erosion Control Association (IECA) is gathering support for a nation-wide specification program to address erosion control and sediment runoff.
