Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Limited to 15 participants.
Single session event
There are free software packages for laying out printed circuit boards (PCBs), and this activity offers a quick introduction to one such package. We will walk you through some simple design examples, and will submit designs of your choosing to a production house so you will get a set of small PCBs bearing your circuit layout. We presume you will be able to get to a PC on the web. If not we will help you work out alternative arrangements. You are welcome, but not required, to bring your laptop to this session. (Wireless available.)

Energy represents a substantial and rising cost to public water and wastewater utilities – on average about 31 percent of a utility’s operating budget. This discussion will highlight preliminary results from the Massachusetts Energy Management Pilot Program for Wastewater and Drinking Water and focus on two developing renewable energy project examples - hydroelectric through water flow (City of Worcester’s Water Filtration Plant) and biomass energy through anaerobic digestion of organic wastewater sludge (City of Pittsfield’s Wastewater Treatment Plant). During this discussion students will learn about the energy challenges and opportunities in drinking water and wastewater.
