21st Annual Engineering Design of Recirculating Aquaculture
(RAS), Hydroponic, and Aquaponic Systems Short Course

Cornell University will be offering the 21st Annual Engineering Design of Recirculating Aquaculture (RAS), Hydroponic, and Aquaponic Systems Short Course, June 23-25, 2015. Room check in is Monday afternoon June 22 and class room instruction begins Tuesday morning June 23 at 8:30 am in Aquinas Hall. Course ends Thursday afternoon. Course is taught by Dr. Michael B. Timmons (Cornell University) and Dr. James Ebeling (Research Engineer, Tucson AZ). Course is taught at a level appropriate for all educational backgrounds and experience levels.

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.  Coverage of hydroponics and aquaponics is also included, in addition to a local farm tour of a 2-acre hydroponic and 50,000 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 $950 classroom option (includes breakfast and lunch daily) 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 (either Newark Airport or JFK airport); and onsite housing is available for $30 night/single or $45 night/double.  More information on the short course, both the Classroom and Distance Learning options, can be found here:
