“I’m a big-picture person,” he said. “We cover pretty much every aspect of the water field.  The technology in the … field keeps getting better and better and more fascinating. I ask my students from the start what sparks their interest and water and what the main water issues are in their mind. As we go through class, they become amazed at how big the water field is and what goes into it.”

This certificate program is designed to prepare students for occupations in the industry. The courses are all online, so students can learn anytime and anywhere.

Cost of the course is $525. For more information call (619) 594-3297, email green.ces@mail.sdsu.edu or visit www.neverstoplearning.net/green.
