Abstract

In colleges and universities across the country, courses in ecology and environmental science are among the newest additions to the catalog. The goal of such courses is to make students aware of the environmental dilemma, a just and necessary goal. However, there is a need to do more than this. Jobs dealing with environmental protection are becoming more and more complex due to the recent passage of State and Federal legislation, which includes the Clean Air Act, the Amendments to the Water Pollution Control Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, just to name a few. Trained personnel are needed by industry and government. For this reason, in 1971, Middlesex County College initiated an Environmental Health Science Technology Program.
