Oil Spills with Engineering Ambassadors

Large oil spills have been a common environmental problem for decades affecting wildlife, beaches and water sources. Environmental engineers have come up with many creative solutions to clean up these spills. WPI Engineering Ambassadors will tell you about some of these solutions and then you can try to clean up your own oil spill at home.

We want to see your work! Take a photo or video and upload it here to our special TouchTomorrow virtual bulletin board!
