1. Identify sites in your state where wind turbines for utility-scale electrical generation are feasible but do not yet exist. Prepare a memorandum to an appropriate governing or corporate entity with your recommendations as to whether wind-turbine electrical generation should be developed at the most promising sites. Consider engineering, economic, and societal aspects.
2. Recent disasters, including major oil spills, floods, hurricanes, and tsunamis have revealed the vulnerability of municipal water distribution systems to water-borne contamination. For the water distribution system of a municipality selected by, or assigned to, your project group, study the existing procedure for restoring the system to safe use after contamination. If no suitable decontamination procedure exists, make recommendations. Suggest easy-to- implement, cost-effective, environmentally-responsible measures. Document your findings in a memorandum.
