Environmental, Water Resources
and Coastal Engineering
The Water Resources and Environmental Engineering (WREE)
seminars include presentations and lectures by our faculty, visiting scholars
and engineers from other institutions, faculty and scientists from other departments
at NCSU, as well as our graduate students. The seminar series is important as we
develop collaborations on our own research interests and on the developments of our
graduate program. The seminar lectures allow graduate students in particular to get a
sense of research challenges and career opportunities in the field. All are welcome!
If you are a WREE graduate student, be sure you know the attendance rules.
The seminars are held at 12:30pm on Fridays, in Mann Hall Room 323,
unless otherwise noted.
