FAQ

11.12.2019: We sometimes get asked what are good popular science magazines for young people who are considering to study environmental engineering? I have consulted this question with colleagues and have come with the following subjective list. If you are interested in nature and the environment, and want to get a broad overview of the issues concerning our planet, scientific and engineering advancements try externe SeiteSmithsoniancall_made, externe SeitePopular Sciencecall_made, externe SeiteSierra Magazinecall_made, externe SeiteScientific Americancall_made in English. Good German alternatives are externe SeiteNaturcall_made and externe SeiteBild der Wissenschaftcall_made. If you are looking for more focussed environmental perspectives in Swiss science and engineering try the less frequent issues of externe SeiteHorizontecall_made, the BAFU magazine externe SeiteUmweltcall_made, or externe SeiteWasser Energie Luftcall_made. All of these have electronic versions and some are free. Some of the above magazines are more suited than others for young people, but they will all give perspectives on what drives environmental engineering into the future, and why it is cool to study this field. And they will make a nice Christmas gift...
