Objectives and Activities Measure vibration, noise, air quality, water body modification, waste disposal, effects on public parks and pollution of the land during and after highway construction. Use data gathering devices to collection environmental information and report by adding data to World Watcher and Arc View computer programs on class web site.

Culminating Unit Outcomes After examining, analyzing and evaluating the causes of pollution upon the global environment, students will locate, select and organize information to produce a presentation for local civic groups and community leaders about our civic responsibility and the need for community action in relation to environmental protection. The presentation will take place at a new park adjacent to I-40 near the Riverside Neighborhood Center designed and build by JMS students as a celebration of their work on the study.

Real-World Issues What are some of the duties of an environmental engineer? How do major highways effect the health and environment of communities and ecosystems close to their construction sites? What are the risks experienced by people in the study corridor? How could you test for those risks? What are the results of your tests? What do you think needs to be done as a result of your tests?

Coordinate Stakeholder’s help into planned lessons, relating each to established objectives. Next, state the action step. Make your action step specific, clear and brief. Be sure you can visualize your audience taking the action. If you can’t, they can’t either. Be confident when you state the action step, and you will be more likely to motivate the audience to action.
