Water Resources and Environmental 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!
The seminars will be held at 4pm on Mondays, in Mann Hall room 323,
unless otherwise noted.
