2011 Management Study Fellowship Winner
Fay Costa, PE, LEED AP, is a Senior Civil Engineer at the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. Fay has had the opportunity to work on the Chicago area's deep tunnel and reservoir (TARP) system. Her current position is in the Maintenance and Operations Department and includes responsibilities such as working closing with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency on permit and compliance issues and managing department-wide projects. As a native and current resident of greater Chicago, she appreciates working on these challenging projects that affect the entire community. She earned a Bachelor's of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Fay chose Environmental Engineering because of her life-long interest in preserving natural resources and engineering's practical approaches toward meeting these goals. Fay has enjoyed judging Future Cities competitions, and recently participated in a junior high school job fair, exposing many students to engineering careers for the first time. Fay is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Environmental Management at the Illinois Institute of Technology's Stuart School of Business. She anticipates that this degree will provide her with the tools that are necessary to solve the next generation of environmental and public works challenges facing Chicago, Illinois, the nation, and the world.
