By Alana Norris

A chemical and biological engineering professor weighs in on what the President’s decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement means for you. Online there have been several opinions about how not being a part of the Paris Climate Change Agreement would impact American air quality. President Donald Trump did speak yesterday about how abandoning the climate change pact would help save jobs in the U.S. since being a part of the plan would cost tax payers billions of dollars. We’ve heard about the economic impact, but what about the environment? Professor Dr. Jason Bara explains the Air Quality Act protects the U.S. air for now despite not being a part of the agreement.

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
