My experience working with the Breckenridge and Karlstad
Wastewater Treatment Ponds this summer was very benefi cial to me
as an engineering student with a concentration in the environment
and sustainability. When I started this internship, I didn’t know much
about wastewater treatment but was very excited to be introduced
to the fi eld, and I learned so much by just jumping right into my
project. Though I had to complete this internship remotely, I still
gained valuable insight into how to complete an industry project
and truly enjoyed my experience ~ EC
