Abstract :
The Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Cinema and Photography at Southern Illinois University Carbondale have collaborated to produce a digital video that highlights careers and opportunities in water resources and environmental engineering. The video is targeted to K-12 students and first- or second-year undergraduates and thus serves as a recruitment and retention tool for related degree programs. Production of the video is being supported by a grant funded by the National Science Foundation, Division of Undergraduate Education
