20th Annual Engineering Design of Recirculating Aquaculture
(RAS), Hydroponic, and Aquaponic Systems Short Course

Cornell University will host its 20th Annual Engineering Design of Recirculating Aquaculture (RAS), Hydroponic, and Aquaponic Systems Short Course, June 23-27, 2014.

The Classroom course location is Mount Saint Mary College, 330 Powell Ave., Newburgh, NY 12550.  The course is intended to give a thorough coverage of the engineering design, operation, and management of water reuse systems.  One day of hydroponics and one day of aquaponics are also included, in addition to a local farm tour of a 2-acre hydroponic and 100,000 lb/yr tilapia farm.  At the conclusion of the course, individuals should be able to design their own water reuse systems and have a fundamental knowledge of the principles influencing design decisions.  For students unable to attend the classroom course, we also offer a distance learning option.  Registration is $1,000 classroom option (includes breakfast, lunch, and BBQ and the Timmons Ebeling text Recirculating Aquaculture), while the distance learning option is $250 within the U.S. and $300 to ship internationally.  The class site is approximately 1 hour by car from metropolitan New York City; and onsite housing is available for $30 night/single or $45 night/double.  More information on the short course, both Classroom and Distance Learning options, can be found here:
