Environmental Engineering schools in PA

AI Thread Summary
Colleges in Pennsylvania offering Environmental Engineering degrees include Lehigh University, which is noted for its strong engineering programs. The discussion highlights the challenge of finding accessible schools for students with lower GPAs, suggesting community colleges as a viable starting point. Penn State is recognized as a top choice but may be difficult to enter for those with less competitive academic records. The importance of proving academic capability through community college before transferring to a larger institution is emphasized. Overall, exploring local options and considering alternative pathways can enhance educational opportunities in Environmental Engineering.

Hello everyone,

I live in Allentown, PA. I am looking for colleges maybe in or near my area that is an engineering school that specailize for Environmental Engineering as a BS degree. Is there any schools like that in my area? I been trying to search by using Yahoo and Google search but I am getting schools that has everything like Arts, Drama and so on. I was looking for a school that is not hard to get into. I hear Penn State is near the top which is just about an IV League. There is no way I can get in. If I be accepted to PSU, I am not going, I rather go to Harvard or Princeton but I know I can't get in. They won't accept anyone that their GPA is not good. Thank you anyone.

Google "Environmental Engineering Pennsylvania". But be realistic; if your GPA is not so good, you're not going to get into a first tier school. Why not try a community college for two years, prove you can get As and Bs, save a ton of money, and then transfer to someplace like PSU?
 
Lehigh University in Bethlehem is an excellent college.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
