To provide, Internships, Training, Workshops, and Technical Monitoring in support of the Clean Air Act.
These activities aim to: (1) support the development of career-oriented personnel qualified to work in occupations involving environmental protection and air pollution abatement and control;
(2) provide technical training for state, local, territorial, and Indian Tribal environmental control agencies; (3) enhance the capability of state, tribal, and local agencies responsible for environmental pollution control or other agencies with similar pollution control responsibilities; (4) provide educational renewal for career oriented personnel to achieve additional knowledge through academic professional training; (5) provide students in science, engineering, and other relevant fields with education and training opportunities to enhance their understanding of air quality-related topics; and 6) to increase the quality and number of people into the environmental control field.
Projects should also focus on addressing environmental justice (EJ) concerns in communities.

The Wildland Smoke training was a one-day workshop, in conjunction with a national tribal meeting, where participants learned about sources of smoke and how to prepare their tribal community when a wild fire/smoke event happens.
Student Program for Environmental Excellence in Design (SPEED) program: (1) Comprehensive survey of GDI particle characteristics, by size selecting sampling and characterization of soot nanostructure, soot composition and soot surface chemical species(2) Dry run testing using both a complex (CO2-CO-NOx-N2) blend and a dual (CO2-N2) blend for all 8 compounds.
(3)The SPEED team sponsored a ME 450 project for Winter 2017 on the subject of carbon dioxide capture from vehicle exhaust, building upon a ME 450 project supervised in the Fall 2016 term.
Another ME 450 team sponsored in the Winter 2017 term worked on a system to desorb and purge the carbon dioxide captured within the device developed by the Fall 2016 team.
(4) Undergraduate student teams performed analysis that compared the observed travel behavior of respondents to their stated willingness to use connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) to complete their trips.
(5) an experimental investigation of electrocatalysis, (6) a life cycle assessment of the overarching bioenergy system starting with poplar cultivation, and (7) the development of a policy framework that, if implemented, would provide value for the carbon that is present in the biochar co-product of pyrolysis.

The AIAQTP program also conducts outreach to local communities on air quality and related environmental justice issues via a website to disseminate the environmental education curriculum. The Student Program for Environmental Excellence in Design (SPEED) program provides graduate-level students and senior-level undergraduate students in the science, technology, and engineering disciplines opportunities to collaborate with the EPA and obtain research training on-site at the EPA's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Lab (NVFEL). Students increase their awareness and understanding of the environmental benefits associated with increased fuel efficiency, reduced carbon intensity in transportation fuels, and reduced emissions in advanced vehicles. The Tribal Training Support for the Community and Tribal Programs project supported 17 tribes and approximately 100 tribal environmental staff and tribal community members in our very first set of tribal community trainings. The trainings brought together not only community members and EPA personnel but also tribal environmental professionals, industry, state and local organizations, colleges and other stakeholders surrounding the Navajo Nation. Understanding air quality issues within the community, learning about the regulatory development process, and being able to engage in the regulatory process in a meaningful way were just some of the accomplishments of these particular trainings.

The AIAQTP program also conducts outreach to local communities on air quality and related environmental justice issues via a website to disseminate the environmental education curriculum. The Tribal Training Support for the Community and Tribal Programs project supported trainings on New Source Review (NSR) and Title V Permits and Air Quality Planning for Wildland Smoke. Approximately 15 tribal environmental professionals were trained on the purpose and requirements of the different permit programs, e.g., major/minor NSR, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), Title V. They were able to review actual permits and get a better understanding about applicability, control technology, monitoring, record keeping and reporting, and enforceability. Attendees were able to develop a strategy for impacting the development of permits. The Wildland Smoke training was a one-day workshop to assist tribal environmental professionals with learning about the different sources of smoke and how to prepare their tribal community when a smoke event happens. The workshop was so popular that we are in the process of expanding the training into a 5-part webinar series with a 2-day hands-on workshop. The Student Program for Environmental Excellence in Design (SPEED) program provides graduate-level students and senior-level undergraduate students in the science, technology, and engineering disciplines opportunities to collaborate with the EPA and obtain research training on-site at the EPA's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Lab (NVFEL).
