             Shawnee State University’s Associate Professor of Engineering Ken Warfield instructs water and wastewater personnel all-day workshops on the third Friday of each month at SSU’s Advanced Technology Center.
             Professor Warfield designed the environmental engineering technology degree program at SSU and has been teaching at the university for 27 years.
             SSU offers an associate degree in the environmental engineering technology program, and it has an articulation program with Miami University. After obtaining an associate degree from SSU, students can obtain a bachelor’s degree from Miami in the same program.
             These workshops are the same courses that SSU students must take to obtain their associate degree. Each course cost $100, unless the student takes two or more courses then the course cost is $85 each and lunch is provided.
             “For employees in this field, the workshops fulfill their need and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approves of it,” Warfield said.
             The workshops for January through April include:
             · Introduction to Process Control, Jan. 15
             · Discrete Static Process Control, Feb. 19
             · PLC, March 19
             · Waste Water Math Review, April 16
