. Maya A. Trotz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of South Florida. Her area of interests include the development of treatment technologies for inorganic contaminant remediation with a special emphasis on arsenic in drinking water and in landfill leachate; investigating the effect of climate change on mercury fate in aquatic environments; and understanding the effect of water storage containers on water quality in developing countries. She has an ongoing interest in multidisciplinary projects that encourage sustainable development and provide affordable and efficient technology to developing areas, especially with respect to improving water quality and reducing the incidence of water borne diseases and water related diseases and other health complications. She believes in holistic approaches to providing engineering solutions which incorporate women's perspectives and needs and which build local capacity. In Guyana, she works on projects with NGOs like WWF-Guianas, Conservation International Guyana and the Guyana's Citizen's Initiative. She is the faculty advisor for USF' Stuart's scholarly interests are primarily related to air pollution and its impacts on human health and the environment. Through her research, she seeks to understand the multi-scale interactions of air pollutants with the natural and built environments and to elucidate the effects of these interactions on public health and on sustainability. Her current research project topics are interactions between transportation infrastructure, air quality, and health equity; and mercury and sustainability in the Tampa Bay and in Guyana. She is a recipient of an NSF Career Award. An NSF research project situated in Bolivia allows undergraduate and doctoral graduate students to work with a non-government organization and rural community water committees to research issues of water supply, water scarcity, sanitation, and watershed management. An interdisciplinary graduate course allows students to investigate concepts of sustainability and research methods using a case study focus that focuses on mercury in Guyana and research approaches across disciplines, implement population surveying methods, and apply simple systems modeling. These cases provide opportunities for meeting globalization and sustainability outcomes as elaborated in the proposed Environmental Engineering BOK.

The water quality sector faces a shortage of workers in the coming years with the retirement of the Baby Boomer generation and an increased demand for water quality professionals caused by aging infrastructure and changing regulations. To prepare for this challenge, the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (Sanitation Districts) are providing innovative education and funding programs that encourage environmental careers and address workforce development. The paper highlights the programs that are currently in place or in development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
