History

AEESP was founded in 1963 [1] as the American Association of Professors of Sanitary Engineering (AAPSE) and later as the Association of Environmental Engineering Professors (AEEP).

Membership

The more than 700 members of AEESP include faculty, students, and affiliates in the fields of environmental engineering and environmental engineering science.

Mission

The Association assists its members in improving education and research programs, encourages undergraduate and graduate education, [2] and serves the profession by providing information to government agencies and the public. [3] Direct services provided to members include publication of the journal, Environmental Engineering Science, [4] hosting biennial research and education conferences, [5] coordinating recognition of excellence in research, teaching, and service, [6] [7] [8] and providing a forum for the exchange of information relevant to the field including newsletters, online media, workshops, and lectures. [9]

Awards

Through the AEESP Foundation, recognition of members include: doctoral dissertation and MS thesis awards; educator and educational content awards; global engagement, research, and publication awards; and the Perry L. McCarty Founders Award. In collaboration with sister organizations, the AEESP recognizes outstanding students, outstanding teaching, and outstanding integration of research, teaching, and the practice of environmental engineering with the Pohland Medal.

The American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists (AAEES) is a society of professional engineers and scientists who have demonstrated special expertise in environmental engineering or science beyond that normally required for professional practice. The principal purpose of the Academy is serving the public by improving the practice, elevating the standards, and advancing public recognition of environmental engineering and science through a program of specialty certification, similar to that used in healthcare and other professions.

Marc Edwards (civil engineering professor)

Marc Edwards is a civil engineering/environmental engineer and the Charles Edward Via Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech. An expert on water treatment and corrosion, Edwards's research on elevated lead levels in Washington, DC's municipal water supply gained national attention, changed the city's recommendations on water use in homes with lead service pipes, and caused the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to admit to publishing a report so rife with errors that a congressional investigation called it "scientifically indefensible." He is considered one of the world's leading experts in water corrosion in home plumbing, and a nationally recognized expert on copper corrosion. He is also one of the whistleblowers in the Flint water crisis, along with Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha.
