Abstract

This presentation demonstrates the knowledge and experience accumulated from my internship with the Office of Environment & Planning within Chicago's Department of Aviation. The internship is an academic-long, hands-on experience, where I work alongside environmental engineers, sustainability associates, and GIS specialists to tackle environmental compliance and sustainability issues that arise at O'Hare or Midway airports. In this presentation, I reflect on my engaged learning course and my given assignment to conduct research on a relevant topic pertaining to my internship provider. My research paper entails the creation of a feasibility study surrounding the implementation of an anaerobic digestion system onto O'Hare International airport.
